I am grateful for the opening goal of the season and hopefully, I will keep on scoring to the end of the season. I had some challenges last season which affected my output midway despite starting well but I hope I will have a great campaign this time around. there is a broadcast partner and that is pushing us to work harder. I think it will be a better season and I hope to score more. As a striker, I am aiming for double digits this season," he told the club's media.
