Chiefs To Make Another Cele Effort?

Chiefs To Make Another Cele Effort?

News reaching the Siya crew's desk is that Kaizer Chiefs could make another effort to try to sign European-based midfielder Thabo Cele.

The player's contract with Pol­ish club Radomiak is expected to expire in June and Soccer Laduma understands that the Soweto giants are monitoring the situation of the former national U23 midfielder, a player they tried to sign before the start of the current campaign.

His deal has an option to extend for an­other campaign and it's understood that his current side are yet to take up the option.

Cele was on Amakhosi's radar even under Stuart Baxter's tenure there, but the Naturena-based club was unable to land the stocky star's signature. But now, with the KwaMashu-born lad's contract com­ing to an end in a few months, the club is understood to have shown an interest in bringing him back to the country.

Before the start of the season, when Chiefs were interested in signing Cele, he expressed his desire to stay in Europe in the hope that he would move to a bigger league than the one he is currently playing in.

The 26-year-old started the season in fine form, playing in 12 consecutive league matches early in the campaign before an injury hampered his prog­ress. Since making a return to fitness in January, the midfielder has not started any of Radomiak's matches, instead coming on as a substitute four times.

In total, he has made 16 appearances for the club this season and it's understood the side will make a final call on his future in the coming weeks. The Glamour Boys, meanwhile, are understood to have agreements in place to sign Mduduzi Mdantsane and Given Msimango for next season.
