The towering center forward has since made four appearances that include two goals against the likes of AmaZulu (twice), Marumo Gallants, and SuperSport United. We’ve now made a few observations on the 1.9-meter-tall number nine.

FIVE THINGS WE’VE OBSERVED

1. Speed: Caleb is not the quickest center forwards we’ve seen in a Chiefs jersey, maybe he has not shown his acceleration yet?
2. Physique: The Burundian is clearly a powerful and physical unit, defenders won’t be too keen to face him
3. Fouls: Caleb is quite aggressive in physical battles with defenders, he has committed several clear fouls
4. Touch: His technical touch is not poor nor is it exquisite. Including speed, he looks like a blend of Nurkovic and Castro in touch and pace
5. Character: He has shown expressive body language when teammates haven’t played the right ball.
