I'll hammer in 25 goals this season - Sani



Current top scorer in the 2011/2012 Nigeria Premier League (NPL), Sanusi Sani has outlined his target for the ongoing season.

The highly-rated attacker is the form player in the NPL having netted four times in his last two games for the Desert Scorpions.

Speaking after he scored a super goal against champions, Dolphins at the Port Harcourt Liberation Stadium on Sunday, the striker outlined his objectives for the season explaining that he would love to score 25 times this season.

The current goals record for a single season is held by Warri Wolves’ striker, Jude Aneke who scored 20 goals for Kaduna United last season.

“I want to score 25 goals this season. It won’t be easy but with hard work and the support of my teammates, I believe I can achieve it,” the forward told SuperSport.com.

The attacker who has forged a fearsome strike partnership with teenage striker, Mustapha Babadi also discussed the collaboration that has fetched 12 goals for the league leaders this season.

“We both understand ourselves as we have been playing together for some time now. The coach (Bernard Ogbe) has also been a big help to us with his words of advice,” he said.

Sani’s club, Gombe United have lost just once this season.
