CHUKS AKABUEZE Nets Brace For SK Brann

Chuks Akabueze bagged a brace in the 4-0 hammering of Stabæk on Monday evening, a game which corresponded to the 18th round of matches in the Norwegian Eliteserien.

With 8 strikes in his last 11 matches, Akabueze is now the top scorer for SK Brann in the championship, two goals ahead of compatriot Kim Ojo, who has netted six times.

'Bentley' is delighted with his rich scoring form this season. It would be recalled that he was a huge disappointment last season, scoring only once in 25 games.

'' I have worked with my movements, been committed to get into the box and try to imagine where the ball can end up. It is important to be in the right place at the right time, like the first goal in this match. I have also worked extensively with the move,'' Akabueze was quoted as saying by Aftenposten.

Adds Akabueze : ''I have set myself a goal for how many I will score this year, but it is secret.''

Chuks Akabueze is under contract with SK Brann until the end of the 2015 season. He is on annual wages of 230,000 euros at the three - time Norwegian champions.
