Kaizer Chiefs’ Akumu explains why he struggled to break into the Amakhosi squad

Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Anthony Akumu says injuries and difficulties to adjust to the team’s style of play slowed down his start to life at Naturena.

The defensive midfielder was a January signing brought in by former Amakhosi coach Ernst Middendorp from Zambian giants Zesco United.
