Fiji and Ba soccer striker Osea Vakatalesau is finding difficulties in settling with his new YoungHeart Manawatu club in New Zealand.

Vakatalesau has so far played five games for the side since joining them last year in September and hasn't scored a goal although he played in all the five games.

YoungHeart Manawatu coach Shane Rufer said Vakatalesau has strikers sickness and has been told to improve this season because the side must win all its remaining 14 games to have any hope of making the national league playoffs.

Vakatalesau who is also named in the National under 23 soccer squad for the Olympic playoff's and is yet to join the camp in Ba, scored in every match he played for Ba last season.
