HOLDINTERVIEW-Soccer-Free-scoring Mushekwi relishing Djurgarden stint

By Philip O'Connor

STOCKHOLM, May 24 (Reuters) - Nine matches into the Swedish season Zimbabwean striker Nyasha Mushekwi has not only shrugged off his relative obscurity but powered Djurgarden into third place ahead of Monday's Stockholm derby against AIK.

Despite his 10 international caps, the 27-year-old was a virtual unknown when he arrived in Sweden on a six-month loan from South African club Mamelodi Sundowns.

Not anymore, after notching nine goals in as many games to become the top scorer this season.

"As a footballer you're always going to get moved around, you've got to keep pushing, keep working," the forward told Reuters in an interview.
