Afeez Aremu has expressed his determination to add more goals to his game after scoring the winner in Aberdeen F.C.’s 1-0 victory over Kilmarnock F.C., Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The former Flying Eagles midfielder struck decisively last weekend and believes his effort is a sign of more goals to come, particularly from his preferred position outside the penalty area.
“This is always what I’ve been looking for, second balls after crosses or corners because I like to stay outside the box,” Aremu told the club’s official website.
Reflecting on his technique, the midfielder noted that scoring from distance is something he consistently works on in training.
“In Norway, I scored a similar goal. I practise it in training and even during warm-up. If I get ten chances like that, maybe I’ll score seven,” he added.
The 24-year-old also admitted that improved fitness has played a key role in his recent performances, revealing he initially delayed his debut due to conditioning concerns.
“I feel I am playing better now because my fitness level is much better. When I arrived, I told the coach I wasn’t ready yet. They had to ease me in gradually,” he explained.
Despite the morale-boosting win, Aremu stressed that the team’s focus remains on survival as they prepare for a tough clash against Livingston F.C..
“This is a big win, but it’s not the end. We have to keep going. Every team is fighting to survive, and we are not safe yet,” he said.
Looking ahead, Aremu acknowledged that the club’s ambitions have shifted this season but remains optimistic about the future.
“Aberdeen is a big club that should be competing in Europe. Unfortunately, we couldn’t achieve that this season. The goal now is survival, and next season we start afresh and push the club back to where it belongs,” he concluded.
