After a year with Gozzano, he headed to Fiorentinas Primavera squad, where he spent two seasons.
Kayode shot into the limelight this summer when he scored the decisive goal in Italys 1-0 win over Portugal in the U-19 European Championship final in July.
In September, he was on the bench for the Italy U-21 side, showing his quick rise at national level.
He made his debut in Fiorentinas 4-1 win over Genoa at the start of this season and was briefly benched by new signing Dodo before the Brazilian suffered a knee injury, affording him more space in Vincenzo Italianos squad.
Earning just 30,000 net per season, he is contracted to Fiorentina until June 2025, which could be extended by another year.
Also, the club is keen to tie him down to a new deal, however, with a pay raise reflective of his potential.
