Any Sunderland fans who are against him due to his association with us need to have a huge chip removed from their shoulders. He came through our ranks solely due to the fact his brother (Tresor Lomana LuaLua) was in and around our first team. Kazenga looked like a really good prospect in his teens and was all about the pace and trickery but was one of a list of tricky wingers who just never pushed on or never got a proper chance in our team around that time (N'Zogbia being another).
How good is he now? No idea. A minor concern would be that he was kept out of the Brighton team for a while by Will Buckley but to be honest Buckley is exactly the kind of player who you laugh at in the Premiership as he seems to have very few strings to his bow but can do a decent job in the Championship. Hopefully Kazenga is the same and still has the X-Factor he seemed to have coming through. Almost debuted for us at just turned 16...
