Ugandan central defender Ivan Bukenya has arrived at Kaizer Chiefs and will undergo a trial with the team.

The Siya crew revealed back in July that the Amakhosi were keeping a close eye on the movements of the 21-year-old, however due to problems with work permits and his former club, SC Erbil, there was a delay in his arrival.

However, it has now been confirmed that the defender has arrived at Naturena and that the club's technical team will be taking a look at him.

The club's Corporate Communications Manager, Vina Maphosa, told their official website, “Bukenya has arrived at the club, will train with the team and as soon as we get the word from the football department we will make further announcements.

"He is a free agent at the moment and the technical team has an opportunity to look at him."

Bukenya's contract with Erbil came to an end last month, giving him the opportunity to talk to any interested parties at will.

It remains to be seen as to whether the Glamour Boys will attempt to land the centre back, although they have previously spoken of their desire to bring in a new central defender.
