Kayode said, “Our Transformation is a result of God’s patience, there is a purpose in every trial, storm and battle. My testimony is on the way. Back, fit and strong!,” kayode stated.

Ukrainian Premier League and Cup titles.
He signed a permanent five-year deal with the club at the end of the season.
