After blasting open his AFC Leopards goal account, youthful midfielder Brian Wanyama intends to shoulder the heavy burden of scoring witnessed at the den by depositing more going forward.Wanyama who was promoted to the senior team last season netted his first ever goal for the club in their 2-2 draw against league leaders Kakamega Homeboyz on Wednesday at the Nyayo National Stadium.Leopards have been the feeling the void left by Elvis Rupia who hit double digits last season before leaving for greener pastures in Saudi Arabia as the club has scored a paltry seven goals from the 11 league rounds played thus far.📷 GOAL CELEBRATION 1️⃣ Brian Wanyama’s first AFC Leopards goal 2️⃣ Eugene Mukangula’s second AFC Leopards goalBetsafe Kenya #OursForever #YaMatere pic.twitter.com/6lByv2o5oh— AFC Leopards (@AFCLeopards) December 29, 2021 Ingwe who had to recruit almost a complete team to plug in the gaps left by the players who ditched the club have been getting their goals through their midfielders and defenders, with their forwards Kingsley Olaniyi and Maxwell Otieno still waiting for their first goals for the club.
