Asanele Velebayi is officially a Kaizer Chiefs player following the PSL DRC ruling to declare him a free agent on Monday.
Of course, Cape Town Spurs feel cheated on by the latest developments given that they once wanted R10 million for Velebayi.
However, that’s not how the PSL Dispute Resolution Chamber (PSL DRC) saw the matter as they ruled in Velebayi’s favour.
Now, having been officially unveiled by Amakhosi on Tuesday, The South African takes a look at where the 22-year-old will fit in at Naturena.
WHERE WILL VELEBAYI FIT IN AT KAIZER CHIEFS?
Velebayi is renowned for his speed and skill to eliminate opposition defenders, and this is the kind of player Chiefs needed.
Given their quick transition play under Nasreddine Nabi, Chiefs need a speedy player to get into the opposition box as quickly as possible.
Pule Mmodi has been that player for Chiefs over the past two seasons, but he’s sometimes flat, and ended up not giving his team the much needed width.
The majority of Chiefs wingers are not necessarily able to take on defenders, and often lose possession cheaply in the final third.
And should Velebayi be given that role to play – either on the left or on the write wing – he shouldn’t be expected to do much of a defending.
After all, Velebayi was signed to strengthen Amakhosi’s attack and help them score goals.
