Orlando Pirates legend Benedict “Tso” Vilakazi feels Kaizer Chiefs new striker Etiosa Ighodaro could create problems for many teams.
The 24-year-old forward scored his first Amakhosi goal during the second leg of the CAF Confederation Cup where his side won 3-1 to reach the group stages of the competition.
“This one reminds me of my favourite player, [Lazarus] Kambole,” Vilakazi told iDiski TV.
“He is still going to finish teams, and people are still going to cry,” he added.
Chiefs new striker impresses Tso
The former Mamelodi Sundowns striker spent last season on loan to AmaZulu, where he netted six goals in 27 matches.
Tso feels Ighodaro is the type of striker Chiefs need in their team.
“There are certain players you need in a team, whether they play or not. Ighodaro is a very important player at Kaizer Chiefs. I mean, look at the score today [Sunday]. When was the last time you saw Kaizer Chiefs winning like that?” he asked.
“You know, giving players a chance, there are two things that will happen: either the player will come in and lift up the game, or the player will come in and drop the game.”
Ighodaro is not the only Chiefs striker scoring goals; another new signing Flavio Da Silva has already scored three times this season and looks like he is on a mission. Unlike Ighodaro, Silva was written off by many fans following a poor pre-season where he failed to impress.
