Kaizer Chiefs closing in on another January signing
Chiefs are closing in on the signing another forward, strengthening their squad in an ambitious January transfer push.
Kaizer Chiefs are closing in on another January signing, as deal reportedly nears completion.
Following the signing of Tashreeq Morris, Chiefs are wasting no time in reinforcing their squad further. Lilepo has emerged as a top target, and reports confirm that the player has approved the move. Although he initially expressed a desire to remain in Europe, Lilepo has now given the green light, signaling a shift in the transfer saga.
With personal terms settled, the clubs are advancing discussions to finalize the deal. Chiefs have tabled a R9.6 million offer, a sum deemed acceptable by Valenciennes, a club facing financial difficulties. This development puts Chiefs in a strong position to wrap up the transfer soon.
A Look at Lilepo’s impressive season
Lilepo has been in fine form this season, netting four goals and registering one assist in 14 appearances across all competitions. His performances have solidified his reputation as a valuable attacking option, making him an ideal fit for Chiefs as they aim to strengthen their frontline for the second half of the campaign.
Kwinika linked with AmaZulu move
In a separate development, Kaizer Chiefs’ defender Zitha Kwinika has caught the attention of AmaZulu. Sources reveal that Usuthu, guided by former Chiefs coach Arthur Zwane, are preparing to approach the 29-year-old centre-back during the January transfer window.
Kwinika has endured a challenging season under coach Nasreddine Nabi, failing to make a single official appearance and spending most of his time on the bench. This lack of game time has fueled speculation about his future at Chiefs, with a move to AmaZulu potentially offering the defender a fresh start.
Chiefs’ ambitious January plans
Kaizer Chiefs are showing no signs of slowing down in their pursuit of success this season. The imminent signing of Lilepo, coupled with the potential reshuffling of their defensive lineup, highlights the club’s determination to compete at the highest level. Fans will eagerly await official announcements as the January transfer window heats up.
