New Mamelodi Sundowns striker Abubeker Nasir has revealed he wants to score more than 10 goals, and says sees himself in Europe in the next five years.
Nasir, 22, made his debut against Kaizer Chiefs, scoring a superb solo goal in the 4-0 win over the Soweto giants.
Overall, he’s scored three goals in his first four appearances for Masandawana before an injury stopped his rapid arrival in South Africa.
He now revealed that his target for the campaign is to reach double figures, but also admitted that injuries haven’t been kind to him.
“This season I would like to score more than ten goals and provide as many assists as possible. Unfortunately, due to my injury I haven’t been able to play many games,” he said during a Q&A with fans in Sundowns’ Digital Magazine.

“I’m always working on improving myself daily but in the next 5 years, if I work hard, and achieve what’s required from my side with the help of the coaching team and the players, I would like to play in Europe. But right now, my focus is on working hard and delivering results for Sundowns,” he added.
