Umaru Kasumba has vowed to force his way into the Uganda Cranes squad. Kasumba scored four goals in three games, in the process helping Batoto ba Mungu register three wins and a draw in February.

The Sofapaka forward was for the umpteenth time left out of the Cranes’ squad that will take on Tanzania in the final Afcon qualifying match this weekend. But Kasumba now wants to attract the attention of the Cranes boss Sebastien Desabre by shaking the net more often in Kenya.

Kasumba has set his eyes on the 2019 Kenyan Premier League Golden Boot and the pacy striker has promised to deliver this by the end of the season as he continues to harbor the dream of representing his country at the international stage.

“It is every person’s dream to play for their country and I’m hoping that with the hard work I’m putting in one day my time will come. I cannot fault them for overlooking me now, I just have to work and work until I impress them.

 “There cannot be room for complacency since I want to win the Golden Boot this year. I have the advantage of being coached by someone who won the golden boot four times during his playing time,” Kasumba said while referring to Sofapaka coach John Baraza.

On Wednesday, Kasumba beat Congolese striker Yema Muama of Bandari and Gor Mahia’s Nicholas Kipkirui to scoop the KPL Player of the month award for February. Kasumba scored four goals in three games, in the process helping Batoto ba Mungu to register three wins and a draw.
