Porto striker Samuel Omorodion has disclosed that he wants to be known as Aghahowa.

Omorodion, who joined Porto this summer from Atletico Madrid, has been in good goal-scoring form in the Portuguese league.

Speaking with Porto’s Revista Dragões magazine, Omorodion explained why he opted to change his surname from Omorodion to Aghehowa.

“Everything that my mother did for me has no price, and I want to pay homage to her by using her surname. 

“I want to be known through her surname. People know me by my other name [Omorodion, his father’s surname], but I want to be known as Aghehowa,” Samu told Porto’s Revista Dragões magazine in quotes revealed by Portugoal.
