In the second of two major announcements made on Thursday, Chiefs confirmed the signing of a pre-contract with SuperSport United to acquire left-sided central defender Thatayaone Ditlhokwe.
The highly regarded international who captains Botswana’s national team has signed a four-year contract and will arrive in Naturena in July 2023 to begin his new life.
However, if Chiefs are willing to pay a cost, it was reported that he could arrive in the near future. However, this is contingent on both teams agreeing to his early release.
In light of this, top SABC Sport journalist Mazola Molefe, who was the first to break the news of this shocking move, now says that SuperSport executives were annoyed by Chiefs’ unusual and “premature” declaration of a pre-contract arrangement.
Supposedly, this could put an end to any further discussions over Ditlhokwe’s early release; he may not travel to Naturena until later this year.
Christian Saile Basomboli, a 22-year-old left-footed striker from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, signed a three-and-a-half-year agreement with the Glamour Boys on Thursday afternoon.
However, he is not anticipated to begin full training with his new Chiefs teammates until next week, and it is believed that his work permits must also be resolved before he can play.
This indicates that Basomboli’s highly anticipated Chiefs debut could be delayed for at least a few weeks.
However, the youngster’s qualities and what he brings with his left-footed skills will undoubtedly suffice to delight Amakhosi fans. He had reportedly scored seven goals in 18 FAZ Super League matches this season, but he has already arrived at Chiefs and has already been spotted in preseason training.
As a result of a recent injury scare involving Bonfils-Caleb Bimenyimana, who has been carrying a great deal of burden on his shoulders, the Chiefs’ relative lack of strike-power depth has been revealed. The addition of this player will assist address this issue.
