Kaizer Chiefs to make surprise signing from Chippa?

Kaizer Chiefs to add a new central defender from Chippa United?

THABO MAKHELE TO KAIZER CHIEFS?

While the 25-year-old Makhele is a top central defender, it is rather unexpected of Amakhosi to sign a Lesotho international when the club is scrapping for limited foreign spots ahead of the June transfer window.

According to Soccer Laduma, Kaizer Chiefs are targeting Makhele.

“As much as they are looking at the attacking department, they also want to strengthen the defence as they haven’t yet replaced TT (Ditlhokwe) and they are also looking at releasing other defenders as well,” a source told the outlet.

“So they have been monitoring Thabo Makhele from Chippa United. He is experienced and very solid. He would really help the team if they are to fight for trophies next season and as they will be playing in Africa. So that’s one of the reasons they have been monitoring and have enquired about him,” the source added on Soccer Laduma.

An additional source said: “They are looking at revamping and overhauling the squad next season. It’s believed that the coach wants to build a squad which will be like his own with the players he is recommending. So with them targeting Thabo Makhele they are also looking at releasing some as well,” he concluded.
