    WHAT NABI SAID

    "Regarding Duba, I think he has a lot of qualities, physical qualities, technical qualities," Nabi said as per KickOff

    "The only problem that we work on every time with Duba is that Duba has a mentality problem. You know how younger players are, when he starts to play [often] and with a lot of fans like Kaizer Chiefs, fans is always he’s not 100% ready mentally.

    "So, for that, we are trying to work through that. From last season, I think he had a lot of progress to make, and he can make it, why not? If he gives us solutions as a first or second striker next season, [Then he will be Chiefs' number one striker]."
