Ulinzi Stars goalkeeper James Saruni is eyeing to be the best goalkeeper in the country this year following his stellar performance in between the sticks for the Soldiers.Saruni kept another clean sheet in their barren draw against Sofapaka to extend his season tally to 11 and keep his focus this season on course.He leads the charts for the most clean sheets in the league, with KCB’s Joseph Okoth and AFC Leopards’ Benjamin Ochan following closely with 10 and nine respectively.”So far I have kept 11 clean sheets and I plan to add more. I want to be the top goalkeeper this year. I have been chasing this accolade for the past years. I have been in the runners-up positions a couple of times but I did not manage to be top, but I did not give up. It has been a learning process and I think this is my year. I will not relent, I will continue adding more so that by the end of the season I am number one,” Saruni said.Speaking to Mozzart Sport, Saruni said that he is working towards being the best goalkeeper in the country this year and win the elusive golden glove accolade.The custodian also heaped praises on his defenders, saying that they have been very instrumental in helping him get to that milestone so far.”My defenders have been doing a decent job, they have been shielding me well this season and have contributed immensely to the clean sheets we have kept as a team,” he noted.⚪84’| Imbusia with a great delivery from the right flank finds Bizimana in a space who fires towards the goal from close range.Saruni with a brilliant save🔥🔥Sofapaka 0-0 Ulinzi#bkplligiyetu #BKpL— Betking Kenya Premier League (@Officialfkfpl) June 25, 2021 He has appeared in all Ulinzi Stars’ matches this week, playing in every minute so far, and has only conceded 13 goals, the least by any team in the league this season.Ulinzi Stars will play against league leaders Tusker FC at A.S.K Grounds, Nakuru, and will be seeking to spoil the CAF interclub football party for the brewers as that will be a determinant game and Saruni knows that it will not be an easy game.”We are playing the top team on the log and we will continue doing what we have in the last four matches since the resumption of football, we know it will not be an easy game but we will do our best to win that game. We will take one match at a time,” the custodian added
