Mbwana Samatta to change from number 77 to 10


Mbwana Samatta will be looking to take a step forward for his club "Genk" in the 2017 - 2018 season and continue to prove his worth as a first eleven player. But that won't be the only thing that he will change in the next season.

According to Shaffih Dauda,  Samatta will be switching from the number 77 jersey to number 10  from now on for the KRC Genk club. This is after wearing 77 jersey since he joined the club in 2015 coming from TP Mazembe.

The number 10 jersey was worn by Tino-Sven Susic and now will be worn by Samatta starting next season.

Samatta has been wearing number 10 jersey for Tanzania national football team so its a number he enjoys wearing.
