Kaizer Chiefs' Akumu needs to be psyched before matches - Kwesi Appiah

Former Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah says midfielder Anthony Akumu needs to be in the right hands to develop the lacking aspects of his game at Kaizer Chiefs.

Akumu had joined the South African club in January 2020 after snubbing Belgian and Japanese clubs as well as continental heavyweights TP Mazembe.

Seven months after failing to make it into Kenya's 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) squad, Akumu found himself signing for the Premier Soccer League (PSL) giants.
