GLODY LILEPO HAS GREAT START AT KAIZER CHIEFS
Kaizer Chiefs supporters have swiftly fallen in love with their new Congolese international.
The 27-year winger impressed on debut against Orlando Pirates and midweek’s 2-2 draw with AmaZulu. The Kaizer Chiefs attacker finally crowned his impressive start at Amakhosi with a goal against Stellenbosch FC. “It is true that I am settling well,” Lilepo told SuperSport TV after picking up the Man-of-the-Match Award.
“But before coming here I took a few weeks to watch the games of Chiefs, to get to know the players as quickly as a I could. When I came here I already knew roughly what kind of players we had,” he concluded.
ZAMALEK TARGET EDSON CASTILLO?
June is coming up. Kaizer Chiefs need to address expiring contracts, or else lose promising players.
According to Soccer Laduma, Castillo’s deal is ending in June. Egyptian giants Zamalek previously tried to sign the 30-year-old last season but Kaizer Chiefs were not keen on a deal. With Castillo’s deal running out, the outlet believes Amakhosi have shown zero intention of offering a new contract. “There have been several inquiries but the main one which seems serious is from Zamalek,” the publication was told by an unnamed source. “They had inquired before, but at that time, Chiefs were not willing to let him go. At the moment, it seems he could leave for free as the club isn’t keen to extend his contract.”
“It’s actually his choice if Chiefs don’t renew, and if Zamalek are interested in him, it will depend on the talks between the player and Zamalek. Of course, there have been inquiries, and with Thabo Cele at the team now and the injury that Castillo suffered, this is his chance now,” an additional insider said.
