By Niyi Busari

Goal scoring is an act, and takes creativity, calmness and intelligence in front of the goal, to score goals evading fearsome tackles from opposing defenders.

Lapai, Niger State-born Kasim Isah Abubakar is one forward that will take Europe by storm once the opportunity presents itself, looking at his exceptional qualities.

Started his football career with Jantabo FC, Marafa FC, to Lapai football Academy, now a member of the Nigeria Mini Football National Team, the dark skin complexion striker is a natural goal scorer.

Abubakar, 22, with a strong physical presence in front of goal, with a height of 1.65 metres, the Lapai Football Academy prodigy models his game around Polish striker Robert Lewandowski.

Lewandowski who in the summer swapped Bayern Munich for Barcelona has not disappointed his fans scoring 14 goals in 28 games for the Catalan giants.

That's what Abubakar, a striker (point 9)/Right wing/Left wing and attacking midfielder represent as he combines passing, vision and skills with goal-scoring ability from midfield.

His other assets were his aerial and strong goal-scoring abilities and can rise to become a sought-after striker in Europe in future.
