Captain and winger of Nasarawa United is the Goal King of the NPFL.
The CHAN Eagles striker scored 18 goals, which included two hat-tricks, as ‘The Solid Miners’ Nasarawa United fought back to keep their place in the Nigerian top league.
Yusuf’s goals were crucial in his team’s survival as he alone contributed to almost half the 40 goals his club netted.
He will now claim the Eunisell Golden Boot and a cash prize of at least 3.6 Million Naira.
