New Balzan FC striker Godwin Mensha has set himself a target of at least 18 goals this season despite failing to score on his league debut last weekend against Hibernians.

Before his move to the Island Nation, the 25 - year - old had spells with Spanish lower division clubs Compostela, Talavera CF and Socuéllamos.

“I don’t know how the Maltese League is but I hope to score 18 - 22 goals, ” said Godwin Mensha to allnigeriasoccer.com.

“Balzan gave me a good option and that is the reason I left Spain for Malta. I have signed a one - year deal.

“Our aim again this season is to qualify for the Europa League, that’s what we are looking for. ”

Godwin Mensha could not represent Balzan in the Europa League because his International Transfer Certificate was not sent to Malta before they faced Željezni�a (Bosnia and Herzegovina), according to the striker.
