The Lubumbashi native signed with the Tunisian club during the last summer transfer window as a free agent.

Having not regained his top form, the former TP Mazembe player has been underperforming with the Tunisian outfit.

In addition to physical issues, he has been troubled by a complaint filed by Lubumbashi's flagship club to the International Federation of Football (FIFA) for unilateral contract termination.

Moreover, his French coach David Bettoni hasn't been much help, giving him only limited playing time.

Philippe Kinzumbi's Stats with Club Africain

To recall, Philippe Kinzumbi has only played 11 matches this 2024-2025 season, scoring 2 goals.

A rather mediocre record for someone who was once considered one of the continent's top right-wingers.
