Former NPFL goal king Okpotu wins top scorer award in Tunisian Ligue 1

US Monastir striker Anthony Okpotu has ended his first season in Tunisia as the highest goalscorer in Ligue 1.

The former Lobi Stars talisman scored 13 goals in 23 league appearances to help the Monastir-based outfit finish third in the 2019-20 Tunisian top-flight table.

Okpotu was not in action on Sunday as US Monastir ended their league campaign with a 1-1 draw against Ben Guerdane at home. They join fourth-place Etoile du Sahel as Tunisia's representatives for next season's Caf Confederation Cup.

The 26-year-old who left Nigeria for his second stint abroad in 2018, won the top scorer award in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) in 2017 after scoring 19 goals for Lobi Stars.
