Former Cameroon international Samuel Eto'o is confident Lebogang Manyama can make an impact at Konyaspor.


Manyama spent his first season at the Turkish club on the bench and not on the field, with Konyaspor deciding not to register him for the second half of the season.

Eto’o played with Manyama at the club and believes the Bafana Bafana will do well next season.

“He didn’t get much chance to play last season, but I wish him the best for next season because I believe he is a very good player,” Eto’o added.
