The striker has showcased his abilities with seven goals and five assists in 46 games across all competitions for Valenciennes and a solitary goal in 11 appearances for the Democratic Republic of Congo national team.Lilepo's journey through the football world has taken him to various captivating locations. Born in Kinshasa, he began his career with AS Vita Club in the Congo.

His next destination was Al-Hilal in Sudan, followed by a move to France's Ligue 1 in September 2023, valued at €478,000 (R9.2 million). Meanwhile, Kaizer Chiefs have reportedly extended a three-year contract to teenage striker Naledi Hlongwane from the DDC.
