‘He is a scoring machine’: Kaizer Chiefs coach Arthur Zwane excited about Christian Saile Basomboli

“He is a scoring machine, he has been scoring goals for his previous clubs and we just want him to continue where he left off,” Zwane said.

“And yes, I think he is going to fit in our way of play.”

“When we brought him (Basomboli) here to have a closer look at him, in terms of assessing it was very key for us to look at how he is going to adapt,” Zwane said.

“Remember he is from Congo and they speak French, so the things that you look at first are whether there are language barrier issues or not.

“If there’s a case, then we are going to have someone who can translate going forward or is he going to adapt quickly. Those are the things we look at.

“There were many other aspects for us to bring him closer so that when we make the decision to bring him over we are sure that we took the right decision.

“So far, so good. He is a jolly fellow, he looks so disciplined but you know players like these ones are very committed to their game. You see passion in them, a lot of love which is very key.”

“Eric [Mathoho] is definitely part and parcel [of the team]. He played a huge role in the past and even now,” Zwane told the media.

“He is just unfortunate not only him, but he is also one of the players that have been injury prone this season.

“Last week or two weeks ago, if I’m not mistaken, we were preparing him for a game, and, he couldn’t make it because of a toe injury.

We thought he would be fully recovered last week; he started jogging; when we thought he was ready, it [injury] troubled him, then we had to rest him until up to now, he hasn’t recovered fully.
