Ejeheri, who considers Italian legend Gianluigi Buffon as his role model, has high aspirations to grace the Premier League and the Champions League stages.

The Hale End Academy graduate expressed his ambition in a recent interview:

“I’m not sure yet [if I will remain until the end of the Veikkausliiga season].  Now you just have to focus on playing, winning and getting clean sheets,” Ejeheri told Mtv Uutiset.
