Mumuni Abubakar sets Mamelodi Sundowns goals

Former New

Edubiase captain, Mumuni Abubakar, has already settled down at South Africa top

flight side Mamelodi Sundowns and has earmarked a successful stint with the

Premier Soccer League side to enable a move to greener pastures in European

football.

Mumuni was

inspirational as he led Edubiase to their highest ever league finish, 5th,

earning the move to Sundowns alongside clubmate and Glo Ghana Premier League

goalking Emmanuel Baffour.

Just weeks

after making the switch and the Ghana U-20 international is already basking in

the cordiality and atmosphere in Mamelodi.

“It’s nice,

really nice and the players are also very nice. They’ve been relating to us as

if we’ve been friends for a long time,” Mumuni told local media when he was in

town last week for the Black Satellites’ preparations for the Africa Youth

Championship

qualifier against Uganda.

He added: “Everybody

has welcomed us and are making every effort to make us feel at home. I must say

I’m already enjoying South Africa and I can only hope it gets better.”

He also

revealed his future plans: “I am praying to the Lord to help make my time in

South Africa very special.

“I want to

win trophies with Sundowns but I also pray that the Lord will help so South

Africa will not be my last stop but I will well so I get a better offer to go

to Europe.”
