Kaizer Chiefs to sign striker Thapelo Matlhoko?

Kaizer Chiefs are expected to sign top-quality forwards from abroad, but Amakhosi also need to find a few promising players in the local market as cover and competition.

KRUGER UNITED STRIKER

Motsepe Foundation Championship (MFC) side Kruger United stand to lose their 22-year-old forward Thapelo Matlhoko to the Betway Premiership, who has four goals in 20 games. “Apart from Kruger wanting to keep him if they are promoted to the Betway Premiership, there other clubs interested in him like Golden Arrows. There are another two but Kaizer Chiefs and Golden Arrows are in the forefront right now. It won’t be easy for whichever team wants him because Kruger value him and still need him. But you know, in football things happen just like in any other business. So let’s wait and see.

The player’s, agent, Tebogo Moloi of TM Scouting told Soccer Laduma: “What I know is Thapelo is a good player who belongs to Kruger. I don’t want to see what happened to Ox (Sibongiseni Mthethwa), when he was at Black Leopards, happening to Thapelo as well. Those interested clubs should talk to Kruger and we will come in after that. But what I can tell you is that he can fit in very well at Chiefs with his style of play. But that’s out of my hands as I have said though there is interest from different teams. He is still a Kruger United player.”
