Kotoko star Steven Mukwala determined to win GPL goal king after brace in RTU win

Steve Mukwala Desse, the forward for Asante Kotoko, remains determined to win the Ghana Premier League goal king award.

Despite enduring an eight-game goal drought, the Ugandan international scored twice in Kotoko’s 4-0 victory over Real Tamale United on matchday 25 of the league, bringing his total goal tally to 10 for the season. He is currently only two goals behind Mezack Afriyie, the striker for Berekum Chelsea who is leading the goal king chart.

When asked about his aspirations for the goal king title, Mukwala replied, “Sure, I am still chasing it. Basically, I feel so proud. It was really hard for me to open my account in the second round of the league. It was really nice to score in front of the amazing supporters at Baba Yara.”

Asante Kotoko will face King Faisal in their next Ghana Premier League match at the Baba Yara Stadium. The Porcupine Warriors are currently in fifth place on the league table with 38 points after playing 25 matches.
