Ghanaian winger Bernard Tekpetey says that he was in contention for the top scorer gong in the Bulgarian League and was only prevented from achieving the feat through injury.

The winger who helped his side Ludogorets Razgrad win their second consecutive league title says but for injuries he would have won the goal king.

He revealed that the winner of the goal king title in Bulgaria scored 17 and he was in contention till his injury woes set in.

Tekpetey was influential for his  side as he scored 10 goals and provided 12 assists in all competition for his outfit.

“I was in contention for the goal king but injuries affected me. The top scorer scored about 17 goals so I believe I could win it had it not being injuries” he said.

The former Schalke 04 winger has been a different player after struggling at Schalke 04 and also on loan a Fortuna Dusseldorf.

He joined his Bulgarian side two season ago, initially on loan but his temporal deal has been made permanent and he has been a player reborn in Eastern Europe.
