Kayode, as his surname implies is of Nigerian descent, but has become a mainstay on the Italian U-19 side, making 12 appearances for the Azzurrini in just under two years of service.
Before joining Fiorentina, Kayode was on the books of Juventus’ youth team, before making the step to becoming a professional with Serie D side Gozzano.
Kayode joined Fiorentina’s youth team in 2021 after impressing in Serie D, and his meteoric rise in just two years could see him follow the footsteps of Tottenham defender Destiny Udogie.
