Chiefs sign Zimbabwean duo

Clyde Tlou - SuperSport

Johannesburg - With two weeks to go before the transfer window closes, Kaizer Chiefs have continued to beef up their squad, in a bid to build a stronger team to win trophies and also compete in the league, by signing two Zimbabwean internationals.

The Naturena-based outfit today confirmed on their website that they have bagged defender Lincoln Zvasiya and midfielder Willard Katsande, both on three-year deals. The two players are already full internationals and Zvasiya comes from the Aces Academy that produced Knowledge Musona while Katsande was in the book of Ajax Cape Town where he had minimal game time .

Football Manager Bobby Motaung, who was quoted by the club, expressed his happiness with the signings and added that these were long term signings for the club.

“We signed the two players with the future in mind. We have good relations with Aces and when we were looking for a centre-back they recommended Lincolin. He came through for a trial and we were happy with what we saw. He is a future prospect for the Club,” Motaung said.

Katsande, a central midfielder in the mould of Tinashe Nengomasha, recently scored for his country in a friendly international against Zambia and Motaung describes him as a gem, who impressed them on a visit to Zimbabwe.

“I was with Ace Khuse in Zimbabwe and that is where we spotted Willard. He is a special player and we believe that he is going to bring something special to the team,” said Motaung.

Zvasiya has been training with team for the past two weeks, while Willard Katsande joined his new team-mates for the first time on Monday.

No! I think the smart thing to do is start again with a younger skipper ...

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
