Though he has
scored only three goals so far, Shooting Stars striker, Gbolahan
Salami, plans to finish this season as the League’s top scorer. He also
plans to upstage former Kano Pillars hit man, Ahmed Musa, who currently
holds the record of the highest number of goals scored in a season.

Last year, Musa eclipsed the twenty-year-old 17 goals record set by Ishaya Jatau and equalled by Orok Akarandut in 2009.

Salami, who was
among the new signings for the Oluyole Warriors before the start of the
season has been in blistering form for the Coach Fatai Amoo-led side.

“I cannot say i’m
the best but I will try my best to score more goals and finish the
season as the top scorer of the season, I am not fully fit now but I am
working very hard to be the best and I believe I can achieve this,” the
Nigerian Junior international said on his clubs website, www.
shootingstarssc.net.

Worthy signing

Currently in the
Eagles camp preparing for next month’s Obama Cup, Salami was at his
usual best in Shooting Stars last two games – at home to Sharks FC of
Port Harcourt and Niger Tornadoes of Minna. He scored against Sharks
from the spot and set up the second goal, while he provided the assist
for the first goal against Niger Tornadoes.

“We have good
strikers and midfielders in the team; I am very happy and I will
continue to put up a great display in all matches. Our coach is good
and we are all happy with him,” Salami said.

“It is our home
again; this is just two hours from Ibadan. I am very happy the
supporters have come to support us and even Gateway management has
visited us, so we are all happy with what they have done for us” he
said.

Shooting Stars next game will be against Warri Wolves, and the striker is looking forward to a great match.
