Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi has issued a warning to opposition teams that in-form winger Glody Lilepo can easily reach double digit goals once he hits peak form.
Lilepo scored in the 1-1 draw away at Sekhukhune United in the league for his sixth goal of the campaign having only arrived at the club in January this year.
The Tunisian mentor emphasized that the Congolese international wasn’t in the best shape physically when he arrived and he feels that once he gets that out of the way and gets settled better, people will see just how good the 27-year-old is.
“We feel that he’s a player that has not reached his potential because before coming he spent some month without playing due to difficulties with his previous team,” said Nabi.
“You can see that he’s a player that sometimes doesn’t finish games because his full potential is not reached yet. But we feel that once he reaches his full physical potential he will be used to his teammates, having a good preseason he’s a player than can do more than what he does right now.
Lilepo’s sixth strike came on a week where his goal against Marumo Gallants was voted the PSL Goal of the Month for April and Nabi added the award is a good start for a player that’s capable of double-digit goals in a season.
“This is a first step,” added Nabi.
“He’s a player that is a winger but those kind of wingers that can easily finish the league with 10 goals. He’s a winger that likes to get inside, likes to score and he is looking all the time at opportunities to score or to make his teammate score.
“And we believe that he can even do more than that.”
