“He was offered to us and was here on trial. After one training match‚ everybody said. ‘that is a good player’‚” Menzo told the media at Ikamva.
“He’s a right-footed defender, strong, and coming from Burkina Faso, he’s probably not bad – with all due respect – the best education there, and at this level, there is always room to improve,” he added.
