Anthony Okpotu, ex- Lobi Stars goal poacher, currently plying his trade in Tunisia as joined a host of legendary record breakers as the highest goal scorer in the country’s topflight league, the Ligue1Tn, following his 13 goals haul in the just-concluded campaign.
The popular work rate merchant also called ‘Panther’ failed to increase his tally on the last day of the season as US Monastir drew 1-1 at home with Ben Guerdane leading Club Africain’s Burkinabe forward, Bassirou Compaore, on five goals who has eight goals under his belt.
Following the switch to Monastir, Okpotu has achieved several feats: He is the first Monastir player to hit double digits and his presence has helped the modest side to their first-ever qualification for the Confederation of African Football (CAF) and Arab club tournaments.
The influential Foot24Tn had earlier named Okpotu Best Foreigner in Ligue1Tn and this feat makes him only the second Nigerian after Michael Eneramo to be crowned goal king in the Tunisian League.
