Khanyisa Mayo's father Patrick issues straight talk to Kaizer Chiefs new signing - 'The only thing he needs to do is... there is no other way'

Kaizer Chiefs recently signed Khanyisa Mayo on a season-long loan deal from Algerian side CR Belouizdad.

The striker arrived in South Africa on Friday and was introduced to his new teammates at Naturena.

Mayo's father, Patrick, a Chiefs legend himself, has advised his son about what to do to succeed at the Soweto giants. 

"The only thing he needs to do, is to work extra hard at a team like Kaizer Chiefs, there is no other way," Mayo told KickOff.
"He needs to familiarise himself with things like extra training. Arriving early at training to practise set pieces will help him settle more quickly.  
"Nothing beats hard work. If the boy works hard, he will achieve everything he wants to achieve with Chiefs.  

"I think he will have a good season at Chiefs because he is more focused now," concluded the former Bafana Bafana midfielder.

Mayo joins Chiefs who have, over the years, been struggling to find a prolific forward. 

That is a task before him to become a reliable goal-scorer for the Soweto giants.

He would also want to send a message to CR Belouizdad coach Sead Ramovic that he made a blunder by loaning him out. 

Chiefs are readying themselves to face Premier Soccer League log leaders Sekhukhune United at FNB Stadium on Tuesday.

Mayo might be selected to play, and if that happens, he would fancy scoring on his Amakhosi debut.
