El-Kanemi Warriors midfielder Daddy Abdulrahman said his aim is to be at his best and win the top scorer’s prize in this season’s Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL)
Abdulrahman has played a central role in El-Kanemi’s outing this season, contributing 10 goals in 33 appearances and is confident of adding more goals to his tally before the campaign comes to a close.
The former Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) man said he wants to score two to five goals before the season ends so he can remain in the top scorer’s race.
”I feel very excited to be among the top scorers because this is the first season I have scored this many goals in the league.
”Yes my target is to score more goals. You know the gap between me and the top scorers is two goals. I will try my best to improve (the number of) my goals. I believe I can score two, three or five more goals before the end of the season. Anyone God allows me get, I will accept it,” Abdulrahman said to NPFL.com.ng.
For a midfielder in a league where goalscoring can at times be difficult even for strikers, Abdulrahman still fancies his chances of finishing as the leading scorer.
He stated that the unpredictability of the NPFL offers him a chance in the race like the frontrunners who are mainly strikers.
”At this point in the season you cannot predict anything. They (the other top scorers) are mostly strikers and I am a midfielder which gives them advantage. But I will give my best. If I don’t finish as top scorer at the end of the season, I will finish in second place. Finishing in first place is my target as well,” he said .
