He finished
the first round of the NPFL this season as the leading scorer on 11 goals.
A
few of his fans call him Buffalo because of his power-playing style similar to
that of the two-horned African bull.
He
is also called the new Rashidi Yekini because of his power-packed shots, lethal
finishing, big frame and bulldozing play.
But
Dele Olorundare (pictured) does not want any of such comparisons as he wants to be
himself.
He
is also targeting a 25-goal return in the league this season and if he achieves
that he will become the first to score beyond 20 goals in a season in the
Nigerian top flight.
"My
target is to score 25 goals but if I achieve that I don't think I'll like to be
called the new Rashidi Yekini as I've not achieved anything yet. I'll prefer to
be called Dele Olorundare," said the Sunshine Stars striker with a tone of
humility in his voice.
Already
Olorundare has scored 42 league goals since joining Sunshine Stars in 2009 but
his dreams remain winning the NPFL title and playing for the Super Eagles soon.
Olorundare
is among 19 players called up for the African Nations Championship (Chan)
qualifier against Ivory Coast next month.
