Arsenal Target Asoro Advises Young Players : Don't Move Abroad Without A Family Member

Sunderland striker Joel Asoro has advised young players to include bringing a member of their family into any deal taking them to a foreign club, so they can easily adapt to their new environment.

The Sweden U21 international of Nigerian descent was only 16 years when he joined the Black Cats, and lives with his mom Eunice in a townhouse on the outskirts of Sunderland.

''I got an offer to move and bring my mom. I thought it sounded good and I wanted to try to play abroad. That's what I dreamed about so I did not hesitate when the chance came,'' said Asoro to dn.se.

''My sisters and my girl usually come over every now and then.

''You must always have contacts that you can trust to help you. Make a deal so you get a family member with you, that's good.''

A product of Brommapojkarna, Asoro is in line to make his debut in the European U21 Championship when Sweden take on Poland on Monday.

According to reports in the British media, Arsenal are interested in the signature of the 18-year-old this summer.
