Afum sets high target

Ghanaian striker Samuel Afum believes he is set to explode next season after going through an adaptation phase in the Swiss top flight.

The 22-year-old joined Young Boys from Smouha FC in the second half of the season after staying out for almost a year due to the suspension of the Egyptian league.

The ex Hearts of Oak hitman has now started scoring again despite playing regularly for the Yellow and Blacks since his January arrival.

Three goals in five games has seen Afum’s popularity shoot up in the Swiss top flight but the Ghanaian striker insists he is yet to regain his top form.

“I am getting better game after game and it was great to score again,” he told MTNFootball.com.

“I think I am yet to hit my best form but I am gradually getting there.

“Next season should be great for me as we have only three games left this season. I think people will see more of me next season.”

Afum remains in the hunt to win his second career title as Young Boys are just three points off leaders Sion with three games left.

He won his first major career title with the Hearts of Oak team that won the Ghana Premier League in the 2008-09 season and emerged top scorer of the Ghanaian top flight league with 13 goals.
