Surprising stat on Chiefs striker despite recent struggles

Despite recent struggles in front of goal Kaizer Chiefs' Bonfils-Caleb Bimenyimana remains the best striker in the DStv Premiership according to key statistics.

Bimenyimana has regularly frustrated Chiefs fans with his series of misses including a failed penalty attempt in Friday's humiliating defeat to AmaZulu.

Despite his recent struggles in front of goal, Bimenyimana remains the deadliest striker in the DStv Premiership in terms of goals-to-minutes ratio.

The Burundian has scored seven league goals in 613 minutes played over nine appearances.

This means the lanky striker has averaged a goal in every 87 minutes that he has been on the pitch for Amakhosi.

The 25-year-old has played 90 minutes in the league just twice and in both games (Chippa United and Sekhukhune United) he didn't score.

The Chiefs target man's return for Chiefs means he has done better than everyone else in the league including Peter Shalulile and Bradley Grobler.

Sitting second behind Bimenyimana of all players with at least five goals in the league is Cassius Mailula.
