Another PSL Club Joins Chiefs & Co In Toure Race

Sekhukhune United are believed to have entered the race for one of the most sought-after PSL players in this transfer window, according to sources. 

It was reported by the Siya crew on the weekend, that Ismael Toure's future at Stellenbosch FC has come in doubt following his actions in pursuit of a move.

The defender was a notable absentee from Stellies' matchday squad as they defeated Nsingizini Hotspurs of Eswatini in the first leg of their first preliminary CAF Confederation Cup match in Durban on Saturday.

As confirmed by close sources, Toure missed some of the training sessions for Stellenbosch last week as he has allegedly been trying to force his way out of the club.

Since the end of the season, the 26-year-old centre-back has been linked with several clubs, including Kaizer Chiefs and SuperSport United.

"Nothing has changed, Ismael Toure remains the centre of attention in this (transfer) window, with a number of clubs interested in his services locally and abroad. That's what seems to have affected his focus, because it is no longer a secret now, the guy wants to leave for greener pastures," said the source.

"The latest club to have enquired about him is Sekhukhune United. He is the player they see contributing to their CAF Confederation Cup campaign after he did so well in the same competition previously with Marumo Gallants. But everything will depend on his situation with Stellenbosch and how it is handled in the coming days as he is still contracted to the club," the source added.

Update: As confirmed by the player's representative Herve Bakajika, Toure did report for training but was instructed by club management to train with the DStv Diski Challenge (DDC) team instead under the supervision of the fitness trainer. 

Soccer Laduma contacted Stellenbosch FC for comment but the club had not responded by the time this report was published.
