Despite being a defensive midfielder, Peter Ogechi is among those in contention for the National Super League top scorer’s award.The Shabana man has netted twelve goals thus far in the campaign making him the best goal poacher at club level and third on the sheet after Nyamawi Beja and Amos Kigadi of Vihiga Bullets.Beja, who turns for SS Assad tops the scorer’s chart with 15 goals with the experienced Amos Kigadi coming in second with 13 goals.##NAJAVA_MECA_7292198##Ogechi is hoping to find the back of the net as much as he can in the remaining seven rounds and run away with the Golden Boot.His primary role is supposed to be shielding the backline and help in progressing the ball but Ogechi does more than that courtesy of his versatility and ability to score from setpieces.“It is possible for a defensive midfielder to be crowned the best scorer. I never tire from polishing my skill in taking set pieces and attacking the ball in the opponent’s box,” he said.“Before the season kicked off, I had set the 15-goal mark as my irreducible minimum but I think I will review the target up. I hope I will score at least twenty goals,” he added.Zambian giants Zesco United courting Kenyan defender Christopher OruchumBesides chasing for individual glory, the former Posta Rangers player is confident of inspiring Shabana back to the top flight.The Glamour Boys sit at the summit with 57 points, two ahead of the second-placed Murang’a Seal.AFC Leopards, Sharks and moneybags Azam salivating at NSL top scorer Nyamawi BejaOgechi is calling on his colleagues to focus on securing maximum points from the remaining matches so as to scale to the top tier.“The overall target remains securing promotion to the top flight.
