WHAT OLUSESI SAID
He told the club's media: "It's obviously a great achievement to sign a new deal, it shows the club's faith, so I'm happy. It's always nice to be reassured, just got to work hard and keep pushing. Crazy season so far, starting off with the Under-21s for a bit, then probably around I think it was the Man City game – first time being on the bench – and ever since this it's been crazy. Like a dream."
