Lumbombo-Kalala, 20, follows manager Gary Johnson from his former club Cheltenham Town where he signed after being spotted by head of recruitment Pete Johnson.

 

“We worked very hard to get him over from France to Cheltenham,” Johnson told https://www.torquayunited.com: “He’s a very good player on the ball; he’s one of those players that is difficult to get the ball from. He’ll fit in with us very nicely.”

 

Lumbombo-Kalala has spent his early career in Italy, playing for Jolly Montemurlo, Carpi, and a loan spell at Savona.

 

“He has a fellow Frenchman to talk to in Jean Niate. He’s been here a couple of days already, so I think he is comfortable and ready to show the Torquay fans what he can do.”

 

“I want to give my best for the fans, the manager, everyone,” said Lumbombo-Kalala. “I’m coming because Gary Johnson is here and he gave me the chance to play in England.

 

“I need to give my best on Saturday because it is my first impression to the fans.”

 

Lumbombo-Kalala goes straight into the squad for tomorrow’s match against Eastbourne Borough.
