'My Dream Is To Play For Arsenal, Help Them Win UCL' - Luton Town, Ipswich Target Babalola
Published: November 10, 2020Talented Concord Rangers striker Temi Babalola has reacted to speculation linking him with possible moves to Football League clubs Luton Town and Ipswich Town in the near future.
In September, the attacker trained with the Hatters U21s team and featured in a friendly against Vanarama National League South side Slough Town, and he's also on the radar of the Tractor Boys, who have extensively scouted him and are looking to invite him for trials.
"They are both very good clubs, two different levels - one of them plays in League One, one of them plays in the Championship," Babalola told allnigeriasoccer.com.
"It would be nice to play in the Championship, get good number of appearances but sometimes it is not all about the level.
"If you play at a team where you can express yourself and you can gain a lot of experience especially at a young age it's very good for you as well."

The Luton Town and Ipswich Town target has admitted that his dream move would be to play for Arsenal and help the north London club win the UEFA Champions League.
"Growing up in my house everyone supported Arsenal - my mom, my dad, my brothers, even me.
"If I have to play for any team, my dream would be to play for Arsenal, help them win the Champions League that they are missing," Babalola said.

When asked to highlight his strengths as a striker, he said : "As a striker my attributes and strengths, I'd say I am very strong, I am fast, I am technically good.
"Most people don't expect it when they see a 6ft 4in player but I am very good on the ball, I am mobile and I get goals, it's one part of my game, I love scoring.
"I score a lot of goals with my feet, I am always in the right place at the right time, I'd love to score more goals with my head but it doesn't really matter as long as I get the goals."

The 19-year-old Babalola was a constant threat down the right side, beating players and tracking back resolutely, in his last match for Concord Rangers, who narrowly lost on penalties to Stevenage in the first round proper of the Emirates FA Cup.
