ASSESSMENT

Comments / Tall thin physique right footed midfield player his distribution is a marvel to watch he can pass the ball at long distance and has the eye of the needle when it comes to short penetrating passes and his movement off the ball is excellent and has got the ability to run box to box for the entire 90 minutes. His defensive attributes when under attack are not convincing he is not always quick to recover because he lacks pace and does not tackler. He had a free role and supported players in possession and has the confidence to shoot from long range.
Recommendation / A very talented young Zambian player but his lack of genuine pace is a worry. He does not quickly come to defend when under attack and lacks the pace when attacking. I have watched him several times when captaining Zamtel football club and his strength is in the distribution of the balls.
