My story should inspire everyone to keep chasing their dreams – Alphonso Davies
Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies says his rise to stardom should inspire everyone never to give up on their dreams.
The 19-year-old was born in Buduburam, a refugee camp in Ghana, before relocating with his parents to Canada when he was five years.
Davies’ breakthrough came when he was signed by Vancouver Whitecaps FC, before later joining Bayern in 2019.
In less than two years, the teenager has developed into a starter at the German club and played a key role as Hans-Dieter Flick’s side sealed a historic treble.
