St Pauli star Dapo Afolayan speaks exclusively to Sky Sports about his footballing journey after he played a starring role in his club's promotion to the Bundesliga.
From the National League to the Bundesliga, Dapo Afolayan has a footballing journey that few can match. He's trained with the likes of Declan Rice, Jack Wilshere and Jermain Defoe. He's also played under David Moyes and Paul Scholes in a footballing career that has stretched over Canada, England and Germany. He also has a university degree in civil engineering.
