Chelsea's Emmanuel Clottey has an eye on goalking title

Aside the dream to power club side Berekum Chelsea to a historic first ever league triumph, striker Emmanuel Clottey wants to add the coveted top scorer award to his trophy collection at the end of the season.

Clottey scored twice to help power Chelsea to a resounding 3-0 win over New Edubiase last Sunday to open up a commanding 13 point advantage at the top of the Glo Ghana Premier League table. With just seven games to go, Clottey has told All Sports that Chelsea will have no problems at all crossing the finishing line to finish as champions.

The goal poacher who won the Ghana top flight goalking crown back in the 2006/07 season whilst playing for Accra Great Olympics, wants to repeat the feat again. His two goals on Sunday increased his season’s tally to ten, same as Kumasi Asante Kotoko’s Nathaniel Asamoah.

Clottey however has set a target of six goals in the remaining seven match days to shrug aside any challenge to bragging rights as the top marksman in Ghana for 2010/11.

“Yeah, I want to win the goalking again and I believe 6 more goals will be enough. Am not looking at other players but just concentrated on my job so that at the end of the season, we can count the goals and see,” Clottey said.

Clottey has for long remained a regular with the Black Stars despite playing in the domestic league. It’s a place he wants to maintain with the national team, why he is so happy to have recently signed an endorsement deal with sportswear manufacturers Puma who also kit Ghanaian national teams.

“I am happy and grateful to Puma because for a local player its unbelievable. I hope it inspires me to get even better and play regularly for the Black Stars,” Emmanuel Clottey told All Sports.
