Fondly referred to as Balotelli of Nigerian football, Salami, who last played for relegated Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) of Ibadan is in high spirits for the game, hoping to increase his goal tally at the expense of their hosts, Crown FC handled by veteran coach, Lawrence Akpokona
The former Enyimba striker is tied on the goals chart with Adamu Mohammed of Gombe United and
the former too will be aspiring to increase his goal haul on Wednesday at home when his team takes on Sunshine Stars of Akure in another Week 14 Globacom Premier League fixture.
"One unique thing about this match is that it is holding in Ibadan. I'm happy going back to Ibadan to play before my fans. In fact, Ibadan is my home so I can't afford to wait longer for this game. I have really missed my fans in Ibadan and I know they too will be willing to see me play.
"This season has been going on well for me despite that I started playing in Week five I pray that I will have something to show at the end of the match against Crown to prove that I am still the player they know. I am in top form and we are looking forward to having a good result in Ibadan," Salami.
The former Sunshine Stars forward has been in a devastating form since he landed in Warri this season, after his glorious performance at the third African Nations Championship (CHAN) held in South Africa where the home-based Super Eagles finished with a bronze medal with the lethal weapon claiming Nigeria's only goal in the 1-2 loss to Mali in the opening group game.
Salami it will be recalled scored Warri Wolves' only goal last Sunday against Heartland FC in their last Week 13 game.
