0 117

Kasoa, Ghana — Abdul Razak Salihu, popularly known as “Kelli”, has emerged as one of the standout performers in the early stages of the CRFA Division Two League, Zone Five, delivering a string of eye-catching displays for Top Talent FC of Kasoa.

The Senya Bereku–born forward has enjoyed a blistering start to the 2025/26 season, quickly becoming a fan favourite and a constant talking point among coaches, players and club officials across the zone. His form has attracted growing crowds to league centres, with many supporters trooping in each weekend to witness his exploits.

Razak currently leads the Goal King chart with seven goals, having recorded more than 10 direct goal contributions in the opening matches of the campaign—an impressive return that underlines his influence in Top Talent FC’s attacking play.

Over the weekend, the prolific striker once again took centre stage, scoring a spectacular goal against Shepherd Stars in Kasoa. The strike proved to be one of the highlights of the round and further cemented his status as one of the most exciting talents in the division.

“Razak is playing with confidence and maturity beyond his years. He works hard for the team and always believes he can make a difference,” Top Talent FC bankroller and financer, Alhaji Mallor told Emmanuel Austin Baah of SportsnetGh after the match.

Another club official Richard Akpan added:

“He is a joy to watch. His movement, finishing and hunger for goals are exceptional. If he maintains this level, bigger opportunities will surely come.”

Despite Razak’s fine form, Top Talent FC currently sit 11th on the league table with eight points, as the team continues to rebuild and find consistency. Shepherd Stars, meanwhile, occupy seventh place with 11 points, having also shown promise in the early phase of the season.

Speaking after the game, Razak remained focused on collective success rather than personal accolades.

“I am grateful to God and my teammates for the support. The goals are important, but my main aim is to help the team climb the table and finish the season strongly,” he said.

With the season still in its early stages, all eyes will be on Razak ‘Kelli’ Salihu to see whether he can sustain his remarkable scoring form and inspire Top Talent FC to a turnaround in fortunes, while continuing to announce himself as one of the brightest prospects in the Central Regional football scene.
