Since the departure of Meddie Kagere, Chris Mugalu and John Bocco, who age gave him a hand, Simba has gone through the challenge of finding strikers of their class or more
In recent seasons we have witnessed Simba signing strikers, most of whom failed to even finish their contracts
Before the arrival of coach Fadlu Davids, Steven Mukwala and Freddy Michael were expected to lead the attack line this season
But after Fadlu landed, he suggested bringing Lionel Ateba who was serving USM Alger in Algeria
Billionaire Mohammed Dewji 'Mo' without hesitation gave about 600 Million to achieve the registration of Ateba three days before the registration window closed, taking the place of Freddy who was given a farewell hand
After serving Simba for four matches, Ateba has shown a great difference and is probably going to restore the respect of Simba's attack line which in the days of the Kagere brothers, no team came out safe in front of Mnyama
Speed, strength and knowledge in front of the opponents' goal is the biggest weapon that makes Ateba the first choice, keeping out Mukwala and Valentino Mashaka
Not only scoring, Ateba does a great job of 'pressing' and denying the defenders pleasure when they create attacks from the back
In four matches, Ateba has scored three goals, scoring the first goal in an international friendly against Al Hilal
Ateba also scored a goal in the Federation Cup game against Al Ahly Tripoli and yesterday he scored a goal in the Premier League game against Azam Fc
Despite the quality he shows, Simba's head coach Fadlu Davids has emphasized that he has not yet entered his system well, now I don't know what will happen when he enters the system at 100%!
Obviously this season many will pick up a lot of balls in their nets....
