Kaizer Chiefs have reportedly agreed their fifth transfer of the window, beating strong opposition to secure the player’s signature.

Chiefs looking for attacking reinforcement
Amakhosi have struggled in front of goal for about three to four seasons now with no solution in site. That has since seen coach Nasreddine Nabi become vocal throughout last season about a lack of striking options. Subsequently there have been quite a few attackers linked with Chiefs going into the next season. This as a sign of what they’re trying to fix in the final third. Amakhosi, however, have seen the likes of Fiston Mayele, Etiosa Ighodaro, Robert Polievka mentioned as strikers. In the wingers department Oswin Appollis, Elias Mokwana, Mihlali Mayambela and Keletso Makgalwa have been touted.
Now with only Ighodaro reportedly having joined from the above list, the club seem to be chasing alternatives. According to FARPost, one of those alternatives is overseas-based South African winger Ethan Chislett. The publication reveals that he has penned a two-year deal with Chiefs after becoming a free agent!
Sign Chislett on a free deal!
