AS Kigali striker Michael Sarpong says playing against his former club Rayon Sports on Saturday in the Rwandan premier league will be a special occasion for him.

The Ghanaian forward attained cult status as a striker for the Blues as his sixteen goals helped them to win the 2018/2019 league title.

Sarpong is now back in the Rwandan top flight with AS Kigali on a three-month contract after sojourns at Yanga SC as well as Al Nadha in Saudi Arabia.

"It is going to be an emotional game for me. I don't know how I will feel honestly as I enjoyed great success at Rayon," Sarpong told Times Sport

"But I am playing for AS Kigali now and it is about work so I have to do my best and help the club to get the three maximum points."

The forward further mentioned that as a sign of respect to the Rayon fans and the club, he will not celebrate should he score against them this weekend."

"I am not sure I will celebrate when I score against Rayon as I want to show a sign of respect to them. But definitely, I will score and I'm confident my team will win."

AS Kigali are fifth position on the league table with 38 points whereas Rayon Sport are 6th with 37 points.
