Kaizer Chiefs Transfer News: Lorch and Mbule

Kaizer Chiefs’ former assistant coach, Farouk Khan, has explained why Amakhosi should not consider signing Thembinkosi Lorch and Sipho Mbule.

PROTECT THE KAIZER CHIEFS TEAM SPIRIT

The 31-year-old Lorch is expected to become a free agent when his loan deal with Wydad Casablanca ends in June. Similarly, Mbule, 27, is set to leave Mamelodi Sundowns after his loan spell with Sekhukhune United this winter.

According to Khan, the duo would not have a positive influence in the Kaizer Chiefs camp. “What’s important is for Chiefs to maintain the team spirit, I wouldn’t advise them to sign Mbule and Lorch even if they were free [agents] to be honest,” Farouk Khan told Soccer Beat, as per FARPost.

“The two players come with a lot of baggage, they are good players, but what they do off the field it’s going to influence what happens on the field.

“Chiefs once signed Khama Billiat from Sundowns, and he’s a very good player, but he came with a lot of off-field problems,” the former Kaizer Chiefs academy leader added. “So when I look at this, I don’t just look at the technical and tactical ability, I also look at the mentality and discipline because what makes a great team is players who are disciplined and don’t party.”
