Blaise Lelo Mbele joins CS Sfaxien on a three-year contract

DR Congo striker Blaise Lelo Mbele has joined Tunisian side CS Sfaxien on a three-year contract.

The 20-year-old completed the deal from South African side Orlando Pirates.

Mbele, who had fallen out of favour at Pirates, is the seventh player to be signed by ambitious CS Sfaxien in recent weeks.

He could make his debut as early as two weeks' time when CS Sfaxien play in their first match in the group phase of the Confederation Cup.

Mbele settled for the Tunisia moves after last month's trials with Belgian side Anderlecht proved unsuccessful.

He recently suffered a dip in form and was dropped from his country's squad in their Nations Cup qualifiers against Ethiopia and Namibia last month.
