South African giants have taken Mozambican midfielder on trial

Mozambican international Amancio Joao Pita Canhembe returned to Africa after a four-year stay in Portugal. The 25-year-old attacking midfielder, nicknamed Neymar, joined South African giants Kaizer Chiefs on trial basis.

The Maputo-born player earned the nickname after showing some silky footwork while playing for Sporting Clube de Portugal's youth sides.

He had a stint with Liga Desportiva de Maputo he then returned to Portugal for a stint with lower division club Sertanense. He joined Maritimo in 2020. However, the Portuguese top-tier club reached a mutual agreement after the midfielder failed to break into the first team.

Neymar was about to return to Mozambican football but diverted to AmaKhosi for tests in the formation where his compatriot Edmilson Dove also plays.

The Mozambican international tries to show what he is really worth in order to earn the vote of confidence from Arthur Zwane, coach of Kaizer Chiefs.

With a nickname like that, he must succeed. Right?
