Golden Arrows striker Junior Dion in pursuit of the PSL's Golden Boot

The 27-year-old tops the league with seven goals from 11 matches, narrowly ahead of TS Galaxy's Seluleko Mahlambi, Iqraam Rayners, and Bradley Grobler, who each have six.

Despite carrying the responsibility of being the league's top scorer, Dion insists he does not feel pressure.

"I don't have pressure. I'm positive and working hard. Everything God gave me, I'm thankful for, and I want to make sure that I score in every game. I'll see what happens when the league finishes," he told FARpost.

Dion has featured in all but one of Golden Arrows' matches this season and credits his consistent performances to focus, hard work, and the support of his family, teammates, coaches, and fans.

"I appreciate the support I'm getting from everyone - it pushes me, and it helps me in my ambition to score more goals in every game," he said.

"I'm just focused on doing my job, and everything else will take care of itself."

The Ivory Coast-born forward has also started a new chapter internationally after switching allegiance to Chad. Making his debut at 27 during the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, Dion sees the national team as an opportunity to grow further and compete on a continental stage.

"With Chad, there are fewer expectations, and I'm very happy with my decision," the striker added.

"My ambition is to go far and play at AFCON. I believe Chad now have a lot of good players, and we can achieve great things together."

For Dion, the season is about consistency, personal growth, and enjoying the game - proving that even under the spotlight of the Golden Boot race, a calm mindset and hard work can make all the difference.
