Speaking to the Graphic Sports, the striker was full of praise for his teammates who, he said had so far supported him and contended that their support would help him achieve the target.
"I have a great relationship with my teammates. I believe our strong bond will help me achieve my goal target." Yeboah stated.
The 29-year-old, who had had stints with some clubs in Europe, disclosed that he was training very hard to get a starting role in Coach Kenichi Yastuhasi's side to get more playing time to make it possible to meet his target.
"You can only score more goals when you get more playing time. I am training hard to get a starting position in the team," he added.
He said Yastuhashi had so far made an impact on the team and believed the Japanese-born American had a lot to offer the club.
