Red-hot Sasere prefers Maltese Premier League title to Golden Boot

Hamrun Spartans’ Franklin Sasere is keen to win the Maltese Premier League diadem, insisting that remains his focus ahead of individual honours.

Following his loan move from Swiss side Lugano, the 22-year-old Nigerian has enjoyed an awe-inspiring debut at Victor Tedesco Stadium, scoring eight goals in 13 outings for the league leaders.

The well-built striker scored a brace on Sunday as Mark Buttigieg’s men silenced Mosta 3-1 – a feat which put him on track to win the Maltese top-flight’s Golden Boot, as well as saw his team stay in contention for an eighth league title.

“Honestly, if I have to choose between the top scorer prize or the league title, I won’t blink my eye,” Sasere told Goal.
