Academy Ambition: Kash Odiase

Players in the Hornets Academy outline their ambitions for the rest of their careers.

This time, it’s striker Kash Odiase, who has scored in both rounds of the FA Youth Cup ahead of the fifth-round clash against Tottenham Hotspur.

What is your biggest ambition in football?

My ultimate ambition is just to be the best I am, and obviously to make it as a professional footballer.

Do you have any short-term ambitions with Watford?

I’m in my second year now so I’d hope to be offered a professional contract.

If you could play a game at any stadium, which one would it be?

I’d probably say Wembley. It’s the best stadium in the country, and the biggest one with the best pitch! It would be a dream.

If you could play a game against any team, who would you choose?

I think Real Madrid just because of their history as a club. They have won so much, so many Champions Leagues, and have just been an amazing club for the past few decades.

If you could play alongside any player from any era, who would it be?

From more recent times I would say Kevin De Bruyne. As an attacker myself, I think he would always find me! He’s quite fast as well so would put me into places to score goals.

Do you have any ambitions away from football?

I’ve been studying a business A-level so it would be nice to achieve a good grade for that.

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go?

I’d say Brazil. I’d like to go to the places where they play football, to see the love for football they have there. 

If you could meet any celebrity, who would it be?

There’s nobody really specific but if I had to say someone I’d go with Michael B. Jordan. I enjoy his acting.
