Simba SC striker Meddie Kagere has named Ivory Coast and Manchester United defender Eric Bailly has the toughest opponent he has ever faced in his entire career.

Kagere, who signed for Simba from Gor Mahia of Kenya, has described Bailly as a hard and tough-tackling defender who gave him trouble when Rwanda played against the Ivory Coast in an Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifier last year.

“Eric Bailly gave me a very troublesome time when Rwanda faced Ivory Coast last year during an Afcon qualifier,” Kagere is quoted by Kawowo Sports.
