If Olunga gets a goal against Sanfrecce or champions Kawasaki Frontale on the last day of the season (December 19), he will equal the 27 goals he scored in 2019 J2 League as Kashiwa won a ticket to return to the top-tier (J1 League).
Players currently ahead of Olunga for the highest number of goals scored in one season in the history of J1 League are Masashi Nakayama (36), Brazilian Araujo (33), Masahiro Fukuda (32), German Frank Ordenewitz (30), Argentinian Ramon Diaz (28) and Brazilian-Qatari Emerson (27).
Kashiwa Reysol star striker Michael Olunga is confident that he can bang in 30 goals per season in Japan’s top-tier (J1 League).
He disclosed this to Japanese news outlet, Mainichi, ahead of Kashiwa’s last away fixture in the 2020 J1 League slated for Wednesday against Sanfrecce Hiroshima.
