Boakye-Yiadom set 12-goal La Liga target

The on-loan Juventus forward is hoping to improve on his performance last season with a target of 12 goals for Elche.

Ghana striker Richmond Boakye-Yiadom is hoping to bang in a minimum of 12 goals on his debut season in the Spanish La Liga.

The player, who was a hit whiles on loan at Sassuolo last season, has so far scored two goals for Elche in four appearances.

The on loan Juventus player has told Accra-based Joy FM he would be able to realise his target by dint of hard work.

“I have set a target of scoring 12 goals in my first season of playing in a highly competitive league like the Spanish La Liga, so I’m working towards achieving that target,” Boakye-Yiadom said.

“I was so happy to have scored against Real Madrid in our 2-1 defeat, the response from my colleagues and the fans at the stadium was great.”

He added: “It has not been easy playing in the La Liga but I believe I can hit the mark.”
