Latif Blessing targets 20 goals

Wonderkid Latif Blessing of Liberty Professionals has targeted 20 goals in the Premier League as he leads the the top scorers, chart in the competition.

Latif, 20, last Wednesday increased his  goal haul to 13  after scoring a hat-trick in their 4-0 victory over Sekondi Hasaacas at the Carl Reindorf Park at Dansoman in Accra.

It was  Liberty’s first win in the second round of the Premier League after a winless streak in seven matches.

In an interview with the Graphic Sports yesterday, blessing said: “I have targeted 20 goals at the end of the season and hopefully I will get there”.

“I was very excited, especially when I grabbed this hat-trick which happens to be my first  in my football career and I am  promising my fans more goals before the season comes to an end,” he added.

Asked whether he was worried by the threat from Aduana Stars striker, Yahaya Mohammed, who has 12 goals to his credit, Blessing declared that  his attention was  only centred on helping his team  to win through his goals.

He, however, praised his teammates and  the Liberty technical team headed by George Lamptey for working tireless to return the club back to winning ways.
