Kaizer Chiefs have reportedly agreed their fifth transfer of the window, beating strong opposition to secure the player’s signature.
Chiefs are working overtime to ensure they have different fortunes in terms of their attacking output next season.
Chiefs sign Chislett
On Tuesday, this publication reported that Chiefs had secured the signature of Ethan Chislett. The playmaker was previous based in the UK, playing English League One football for Port Vale. His contract with the club is set to expire at the end of the month and he decided not to renew it. This as the side found themselves relegated to the League Two.
Furthermore, several clubs both abroad and Chiefs were placed on high alert on his availability. Clubs like Scottish Premiership side Motherwell as well as English League One outfit Wigan reportedly tried to keep him in Europe. However, it is believed that Chislett had long had his sights on a return to South Africa, his homeland.
Player rejected European sides for Glamour Boys
It was subsequently no surprise then that he rejected the above opportunities in favour of a move to Chiefs instead. It is thought that he has indeed, put pen to paper on a two year deal with Amakhosi. Now according to iDiski Times, Chislett is expected at their Naturena training village as early as this week!
Subsequently set to arrive on Thursday
“Chislett is set to have rejected approaches in the second-tier in England, with the player keen to ply his trade in South Africa and break into the senior national team. Sources within the Amakhosi technical team have confirmed the player will arrive in the country on Thursday to start life with the Soweto giants. He netted 16 goals with 13 assists in 168 games for Vale and AFC Wimbledon respectively over the past five seasons.” Wrote the publication.
