With a full season ahead, Nairobi City Stars forward Yuto Kusaba is dreaming big, and is training his sights on the scorer’s chart.

The striker is hoping to pick it from last season where he ended the season with a brace in the season-ender against KCB.

“Last season was my first season in Kenya and it was very difficult. It took me a while to get used to the environment and Kenyan soccer,”

“However, I didn’t give up and continued to work hard, just like a true Japanese. As a result, I started in the final match and scored two goals,”

“Those goals gave me confidence. I am aiming to become the top scorer in the KPL next season, so please look out for my scores.” he added

In the 2023-24 season, Yuto scored thrice in 13 games and topped up with an assist and three progressive passes.

He clocked 293 minutes, made three starts, and only completed the KCB at the very end.
