Bimenyimana joined Chiefs on a free transfer after impressing during his three-week trial period, and expectations are already high on him.

However, Zwane feels while Chiefs signed Bimenyimana to help them score goals, the lanky marksman cannot do it alone.

Zwane said it is not only Bimenyimana’s responsibility to score goals at Chiefs, saying he needs the help of his teammates to be a success at Naturena.

The 48-year-old further raved about Bimenyimana’s qualities – his height, structure and that he’s quick – and believes he will give Chiefs a different dimension in the final third.

ZWANE EASES PRESSURE ON NEW KAIZER CHIEFS STRIKER BIMENYIMANA

“It is definitely a concern that we’ve not been scoring but as you know in the modern game today, you focus more on the front three. So, we won’t give the whole responsibility to one player, but, yes, he [Bimenyimana] needs to help,” Zwane said as per Sowetan.

“He’s got the height, he’s got good structure and he’s quick. I think he’s going to give us that different dimension in terms of the final third entry. We obviously expect him to score goals for us, but with the help of other players. He can’t do it alone.”
