Many may question his efficiency in front of goal, but the reality is that Simba SC winger Elie Mpanzu has consistently made life easier for his teammates through the chances he creates.
So far, Mpanzu has been directly involved in 11 goals for Simba, scoring 3 and providing 8 assists.
His quality is most evident in his playmaking ability, as he is currently the joint top assist provider in the league alongside Azam FC’s Feisal Salum, both with 8 assists.
When discussing players with the biggest attacking impact in Simba’s squad, Clatous Chama “Mwamba wa Lusaka” and Mpanzu stand out, with the duo showing strong chemistry on the pitch.
The only area Mpanzu may need to improve is his finishing. If he increases his efficiency in front of goal, he could potentially produce unmatched numbers in both goals and assists.
Head coach Steve Barker has been using Mpanzu as a secondary striker in this period, sometimes rotating him with wide attackers Libasse Gueye and Annicet Oura.
This tactical approach has proven effective for Simba, as it unsettles opponents and creates difficulty for defenders trying to contain their attacking movement.
