With only two matches left before curtains fall on the 2017 Kenya Premier League Season, the battle for the league's top scorer has already taken shape with a new face likely to spring a surprise on veteran goal poachers.
Kariobangi Sharks dangerman Masoud Juma currently leads the race for the coveted gong having found the back of the net fifteen times.Following closely is the Gor Mahia duo of Meddie Kagere and Jacques Tuyisenge.The two Rwandese nationals have jointly scored 12 goals same as Nakumatt's Kepha Aswani.
Following closely is Sofapaka's Umaru Kasumba and Ulinzi Stars Stephen Waruru who have both netted eleven times while Mathare's Crispin Oduor closes the top-ten goal bracket having scored 10 goals.
Juma who prior to his four-goal fiesta against the already relegated Muhoroni Youth had scored eleven times is optimistic that he will surpass last season's record of 15 goals set by Ulinzi Stars hitman John Mark Makwatta.
