Ghanaian youngster David Oduro says he is keen to ensure he makes the most out of his time at Barcelona after sealing a permanent move.
Last month, the defender became the first player to be signed directly from Ghana to the Spanish side following Barca's announcement of the deal.
The 18-year-old penned a three-year deal with the Blaugrana club ending his stay with Ghana Premier League side Accra Lions.
Prior to moving to Spain, the left-back had also enjoyed trials with Chelsea and Bayer Leverkusen in an attempt to secure a move.
Quizzed in an interview with Sporty TV what his targets are, the youngster answered, "This is the time for me to work hard, this is not the time to sleep. I have to work extra hard to be able to play in the first team."
"The aim is to play in the first team, the Champions League and then also for the Ghana national team."
Oduro revealed the team's style of play is what motivated his decision to move to Spain.
"I love their style of play. I went there [to see it], I love the project and I can't wait to get there and get started."
Oduro will begin his journey with Barcelona Athletic where he will be joined by countryman Abdul Aziz Issah who moves on loan from Dreams FC.
