Eto'o puzzled how 'best teammate' Manyama flopped in Turkey with Konyaspor

The Kaizer Chiefs forward lasted just a season in Turkey, where he struggled for game time

Cameroon legend Samuel Eto’o believes his former Konyaspor teammate Lebogang Manyama was one of the best players at the Turkish Super Lig side but was not given enough opportunity to prove himself.

Manyama spent the 2017/18 season at Konyaspor, where he had arrived after being crowned as the best player in the Premier Soccer League (PSL).

After struggling for game time with just 10 appearances that yielded two goals in all competitions, Manyama returned home to join Kaizer Chiefs.
