Player Watch: Makukula

Makukula is staking his claim for a call-up to the selecção - he has scored 16 goals so far this season for Kayserispor in the Turkish Super League, currently lifting them to 5th place with as many as 2 games in hand against the teams in front of them. Take a look at the goal he scored over the weekend. It sure would be great to have a tall, physically imposing target man up front to launch a long ball or two up to throughout a game. He may be able to sneak onto the squad as our third striker behind Liedson and Hugo Almeida, and ahead of Nuno Gomes and Helder Postiga. Personally, as much as I love Nuno Gomes and Helder Postiga, I feel as though now is Makukula's time. He should be given the chance, so make the call Queiroz!
