Former Tottenham captain Gary
Mabbutt has praised the club’s signing of centre-back Bongani Khumalo,
claiming the player can become the next Lucas Radebe.
The
South African international arrived at White Hart Lane from his native
team Supersport United earlier this month for £1.5million, and Mabbutt
believes the 24-year-old has all the ingredients to make a big impact at
the club.
He
said: ‘I have seen him play while out in South Africa, he has got
excellent potential. Obviously he still has to get used to the move to
England and how he settles remains to be seen. Having said that, he is
capable of being a top class player for Tottenham.




Case for the defence: Bongani Khumalo celebrates after scoring for South Africa against France at last summer's World Cup

‘He has the mentality and the
attributes and he may get his chance sooner or later due to injuries to
other players. Looking at the talent coming out of South Africa over the
years he could become the new Lucas Radebe.’

Damn, couldnt think of his name Vis, does look like there is something about Khumalo and hes scored a world cup goal, there ya go Lobo, a player with the world cup experience you mentioned in an earlier thread!!

Hard as teak, atheletic African, might be just what we need, try him out in the fa cup,
oops perhaps not!!
