Teenager keen to follow in brother Collins' footsteps

FC Twente striker Ola John has revealed his ambition to ply his trade in the Premier League at some point in the future. The 19-year-old, who is the younger brother of former Fulham forward Collins John, has impressed at Twente since making his senior debut last November. John claimed Arsenal and Manchester United were chasing his signature last year but he spurned their interest in favour of signing at the Eredivisie side until 2014. The striker is determined to help Twente to the league title but says his next move will be to the Premier League. "First I want to do everything I can to make FC Twente champions again," he told NUSport. "Then I'll know the time is right to switch to a big English club. "Through my brother Collins, I know how beautiful it is to play in the Premier League."
