Salami is a player in the mould of Chukwu, who made 119 appearances for Sundowns and scored 58 goals.
The striker signed a three-deal with Downs in July, and showed during the club's pre-season tour of Swaziland that he has an eye for goal. "I'm very happy to have signed a contract with Sundowns," the Nigerian Under-20 and Under-23 international says. "I'm happy with the facilities, the players, the coach … everything is okay." Having watched Chukwu playing at Sundowns, Salami says his target is to score 10 goals in his first season; then he will fight for the Golden Boot the season thereafter. "I want to be like him [Chukwu] and I will try my best to play like him. This is my first season, so 10 goals will be okay. We can see the season after that then."
