Nigeria and Almeria striker, Sadiq Umar hopes to find the net more often after beating his season's personal target.

Speaking in an interview, the former Roma striker stressed that his goal scoring abilities have no limits and he hopes to score more crucial goals before the season gets to an end.

He added that his aim this season was to beat last season's goal-scoring tally and he has achieved just that.

“My target is to beat the last year goals and now I have done it and without limits, I just have to keep on going and see where I will arrive.”

The Rio Olympics bronze medallist added that Rojiblancos are improving In every game based on the numbers of matches and successes they have recorded including the morale-boosting 5-0 triumph over the topflight side, Alaves last weekend.

“For us to beat a first-team side (like Alaves) all came with the belief and the pep talk we had among ourselves. We told ourselves that we needed to get a positive result from big games such as this and this inspired us to achieve our target.

"Even though I had played bigger teams than this before, like playing against big clubs in the Europa League like Manchester United. I also played in Serie A (for Bologna and AS Roma). I have experience when it comes to such games."

The Rojiblancos will host Sabadell on Sunday this week after their tie with Kenneth Omeruo’s Leganes initially fixed for January 10th, 2021 was postponed indefinitely because of bad weather.
