Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Zambia and Leicester City Football Club Forward, Patson Daka has recently come under heavy criticism from fans back home over his presence for the team in decisive games.<\/p>\n

Debate is torn between those accusing the young striker of failing to inspire the Leicester City centre forward, mainly citing poor positioning \u2014 while others simply say Daka is a complete player.<\/p>\n

Those criticising Daka want the lad to pour his lungs into the game and impress Brendan Rogers who has been starting him since Jamie Vardy picked a hamstring injury on 28 December 2021.<\/p>\n

With a combined 10-goals in the Europa and EPL for his team, Green Eagles forward, Lineker Mwikisa has backed those calling the #bolanalesa last as a complete package.<\/p>\n

He writes below; It\u2019s not easy to reach double figures in your debut season as a striker regardless of any league. Patson Daka has 10 goals for Leicester this season and is still receiving criticism from some fans and pundits that he only scores tap ins and so on<\/p>\n

Well, all goals are great what matters is putting them away and that\u2019s a mark of a good striker because for you to tap it in you have to be in a scoring position.<\/p>\n

This is a season of adaptation for Daka yet he has managed to reach double figures, now imagine when he\u2019s fully settled. In a season with critics Daka might even reach 20 goals .<\/p>\n
