Former Kaizer Chiefs winger Junior Khanye has argued that new signing Langelihle Phili does not have the right players at Amakhosi to complement his talent.
The young attacker joined Chiefs this week having completed his move from Stellenbosch FC.
Phili is the club’s fifth signing of the season and is the second former Stellies player to join Amakhosi with Thabo Moloisane having joined a few weeks ago.
The Glamour Boys already look in good form having won their opening match of the season. Khanye feels Phili is a good addition and will help the team with the right support.
Phili completes Chiefs move
“He’s a player for a big team, and it’s been long coming,” said Khanye on iDiski TV.
“I mean the boy worked for it and he has bright future if he can remain humble when he arrives in Johannesburg because it’s different from Cape Town.
“I think it’s a good signing, but if they won’t compliment him…It’s like saying you want to eat good food, but you don’t buy the ingredients, so it’s going to be difficult.”
Khanye said Chiefs needed a playmaker to help Phili.
“Who’s going to cook and dish for the boy?
“Do they have a proper number 10 at Kaizer Chiefs who can fetch the ball, rotate it, and drive the midfield? I mean a playmaker? They don’t have that type of player.
“You have released [Gaston] Sirino, and not to say Sirino was great at Kaizer Chiefs, but he’s better compared to the players they have,”
Phuli could make his debut for Chiefs this weekend in the MTN8.
