Most of them look up to players who ply their trade in Europe but from my end, I admire how Kagere, Makambo and Mayele score and celebrate their goals. When I was in school, I used to make to the stadium to catch Kagere and Makambo play and somehow, I got attracted to the way they celebrate their goals and I decided to copy them. Abroad, I like the way Ibrahimović and Lewandowski celebrate their goals,” he said.Meanwhile, the striker who still habours dreams of clinching the ‘Golden Boot’ says he is not satisfied with his goal returns and vowed to work harder and catch up with the leading scorers. At the same time, he expressed optimism in turning professional once his stay with Tusker comes to an end.
