Gavin Hunt keen to show Nasreddine Nabi how to get the best out of Kaizer Chiefs loanee Christian Saile Basomboli and reveals what's delaying the Congolese player's SuperSport United debut

Christian Saile Basomboli has joined SuperSport on a six-month loan deal from Kaizer Chiefs with Matsatsantsa having the first option to buy him should they be impressed with him.

This comes as the Congolese forward has been struggling for goals since Arriving at Naturena in January 2023.

SuperSport coach Gavin Hunt is trying to succeed in what the likes of Arthur Zwane, Molefi Ntseki, Calvin Johnson and Nasreddine Nabi failed with Saile as he reveals what has delayed the striker's official debut for Chiefs.

"Right now, obviously as a foreign player [Saile], there is paperwork, and all those types of things go on behind the scenes, so I will only have more information this afternoon or tonight," says Hunt when speaking to reporters.

"Obviously, I know what we are getting in [Basomboli].  So, I will obviously use him differently and that is a point for another case from a football perspective. It is quite complicated with these kinds of deals."

Hunt is taking a forward who managed just seven goals in 56 games across all competitions for Amakhosi.

But it appears the experienced coach has a plan to draw the best of the speedy striker from DR Congo.

At SuperSport, Saile will be competing for game time against experienced attackers like Bradley Grobler, Terrence Dzvukamanja, Gamphani Lungu and Samir Nurkovic.

It remains to be seen when Saile will be able to make his SuperSport debut as the Tshwane side is set to face Magesi FC in the Nedbank Cup Round of 32 next Tuesday.

He also faces a chance to take part in Matsatsantsa's remaining 16 Premier Soccer League matches should he get his papers in place as well as stay fit.
