Kaizer Chiefs coach Arthur Zwane has given his initial impressions of the club’s latest signing, Christian Saile Basomboli. The Congolese striker has spent the last week training with his teammates following his January transfer window move to the Glamour Boys.
While Zwane says the player is not yet available for selection, he has fitted seamlessly into the squad and has justified his signing.
“Yeah, look, we profiled the player obviously and as I said, when we brought him here to have a closer look at him in terms of assessing him, it was very, very key for us,” said Zwane. “The things that you were looking at was how is he going to adapt? He’s from Congo, you know, and they speak French, so the things that you look at first is if there is any challenge of maybe, the language barrier? You are trying to avoid such things.”
Zwane was pleased to report that Basomboli has had no trouble adapting to the team, and has been a welcome addition to the squad.
“To be quite honest, he is a jolly good fellow,” said Zwane. “He looks so disciplined. But you know, players like these ones. They’re very, very committed. To the game. You see passion in there and you see a lot of love.”
Kaizer Chiefs will be taking on Royal AM on Sunday at 17:30, as they look to build on their impressive form in the league.
