Richmond Boakye-Yiadom has set a 12-goal target in the Spanish La Liga.

Ghana striker Richmond Boakye Yiadom is aiming at scoring 12 goals on his debut season in the Spanish La Liga for Elche.

The 20-year-old on Wednesday night came off the bench to draw Elche level but succumbed to a late Cristiano Ronaldo penalty.

Boakye grabbed the headlines when he scored on his debut in the 2-2 draw against Almeria.

"I have set a target of scoring 12 goals in my first season of playing in a highly competitive league like the Spanish La Liga so I’m working towards achieving that target," he told Joy sports

"I was so happy to have scored against Real Madrid in our 2-1 defeat, the response from my colleagues and the fans at the stadium was great.

"It has not been easy playing in the La Liga but I believe I can hit the mark."

Boakye raked in 11 goals last season on loan at Italian side Sassuolo which helped them to qualify to the Serie A.
