“Because the way N’Golo Kante plays; he plays with energy, aggression, everything is there. So I always use those strengths of mine for me to play like him. But the thing is, I always play my style,” said the Kaizer Chiefs man.
Mthethwa was Molefi Ntseki’s preferred player but with the former Bafana Bafana having parted ways with the Soweto Giants, it remains to be seen if the midfielder will play regularly under new coach Calvin Johnson.
