Canadian midfielder Ismael Kone opened up on his recent transfer to Championship club Watford in an interview on Saturday. CTVNews.ca brings you what the 20-year-old had to say about his career-changing move, which comes with plenty of challenges.
Between playing at the World Cup and moving to England’s second-highest league, adjusting to his rapid career development is a learning curve. Yet Kone says he welcomes the challenge ahead, intending to become a reliable player for both club and country.
“I'm a competitor myself, and I like to test myself, I like to challenge myself, so the World Cup was an amazing experience.”Kone broke onto the scene with CF Montreal in Major League Soccer in 2022, helping the Canadian club reach the quarterfinals of the playoffs. He registered 28 appearances, three goals and five assists which earned him a call-up to the Canadian national team .
“I want to take my game to another level. I want to be in this category of players [where] they excel consistently every single game, there's a lot of work to be done,” he continued.
