AFC Leopards are hoping to mount a serios title challenge for the second half of the season campaign.
AFC Leopards head coach Fred Ambani has voiced his dissatisfaction with his team’s attacking prowess as they aim to mount a serious challenge for the FKF Premier League title.
Ambani has been left frustrated by his forwards’ lack of efficiency in front of goal, calling for an urgent improvement in their performances.
“We have to pull up our socks because if our top scorer in the team has four goals while the leading goal scorer has 15 goals, that’s a cause for concern. These are the players I have, and it is a must that I help them rediscover their form,” Ambani stated, as quoted by Nation.

The Leopards’ striking force, featuring Sydney Lokale, Maxwell Otieno, and Brian Yakhama, has collectively managed just seven goals so far this season.
Lokale leads the trio with four goals, followed by Otieno with two, and Yakhama with a single goal.
In stark contrast, FKF Premier League top scorer Ryan Ogam of Tusker has already found the back of the net 15 times.

Greats of the current generation of sprinters have earned comparison to Usain Bolt but it is a mystery Jamaican athlete that got the world’s fastest man’s nod.
Collectively Leopards have netted a total of 29 times, the second most joint in the league as Tusker lead the way with 31 goals scored.
“What I’m keen on improving is the striking force,” Ambani added, emphasizing to work with what he’s got instead of getting active in the transfer window that closes later this month.
Despite their attacking struggles, AFC Leopards have only made defensive signings so far.
