“Fast, powerful and formidable finisher, the “Super Eagle” is also a man of his word. Terem is able to play with his back to goal, to go deep. He is a modern attacker, very fast, very powerful.

A new level awaits him in Nice, where he will discover the European Cup next spring and will be one of the strong men of the club’s high ambitions.”
