Super Eagles and Liverpool striker Victor Moses is set to end the goal drought that has hit him since switching tents to the Brendan Rodgers’ side as he has set a target of 20 goals for himself by the close of the season.
The on-loan Chelsea player who has failed to find the back of the net since scoring against Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium in September is hoping to add to his tally in coming months. “I just want to score goals.
I wanted to score around 20 goals this season,” the 22-year-old told the club’s website. “We’ve still got lots of games to go, so hopefully I can get up to that target. I think I’ve got the ability to do that so I’m looking forward to every game. “I want to keep working hard in training and doing what I’m good at, which is working hard for the team. When I first came, I was starting.
“Now, the manager has got a different view and he wants to mix things around a little bit. I just have to be patient until my time comes. I’ll kick on from there and help the team,” he concluded.
Meanwhile some sort of silver-lining might be in store for Moses’ Super Eagles team-mate and Toronto FC striker, Bright Dike as reports in Canada have suggested that a communication channel has been opened as regards the striker joining up with Celtic FC for a training stint with the Scottish champions.
Dike, who scored for Nigeria in the Super Eagles 2-2 draw with Italy at Fulham’s Craven Cottage, is reportedly scheduled to be at Celtic Park to begin training with Celtic FC Scottish sports outlet STV Sports also revealed that Dike will team up with the Bhoys in a bid to keep the striker in shape prior to the start of the 2014 MLS season in the coming days.
It is however clear if Celtic manager Neil Lennon, who also has Nigerian international, Efe Ambrose in his squad, will make a move for the striker who has stated clearly he wants to be part of Nigeria’s squad to next year’s World Cup in Brazil.
Toronto FC also communicated to the MLS that there is no deal in place between them and Celtic as regards the modalities of Dike training with Celtic, and therefore the 26 years old move has to be ratified by the MLS before it can happen, but however talks have already opened as regards the proposal.
The former University of Notre Dame standout, has made three appearances for Nigeria, scoring two goals in the process since his goal scoring debut in Nigeria’s 1-1 draw with Catalonia in a friendly game prior to the 2013 Africa Cup Of Nations.
