Talanta forward apologizes for scoring with his backside against AFC LeopardsThe forward could be handed a boost, as Shumah is a caution away from missing a game, having accumulated four yellow cards so far. “I believe I will win it despite the gap between me and the two top guys. If you look at the league table, you will realise that we (Talanta) are in danger of relegation, and this means that I have to score and help the team win matches. I believe that five goals will be enough for me to win the award,” Osoro opened up.

I picked the lessons and vowed to prove myself at a different club. Probably, I would not be getting the minutes had I signed at Leopards. Failing to make the cut in the U20 team did not affect me in any way. Maybe this is an opportunity for me to score more goals and get to the senior team that will play in the CHAN finals. I remain hopeful for a great future, ” he added.
