Kaizer Chiefshave moved quickly to finalise a deal to sign a player departing from arch rivals Orlando Pirates!
Chiefs are looking to ensure that they do not have the same season as their two previous campaigns.
It is not usual that players move directly between the Soweto giants, however, it has happened in the recent past. This is usually only through free agency, with names like Jimmy Tau, Lehlohonolo Majoro and Brilliant Khuzwayo coming to mind. Those players moved between Chiefs and Pirates without the clubs being involved in direct negotiations with each other.
Pirates and Chiefs agreed historic Sam deal
Then last season, however, Chiefs and Pirates negotiated a historic first ever transfer between each other. Amakhosi acquired the services of Bongani Samfrom the Buccaneers, with the left-back signing for a reported R3 million fee. This publication then reported on Friday evening that Thabiso Monyane could be next to cross the divide.
Last night, those news escalated with an update claiming Chiefs are in advanced talks with Monyane. Now there has been even further movement in that regard. According to iDiski Times, Amakhosi have reached an agreement with the right-back to sign him ahead of the next season.

“ Former Orlando Pirates wing-back Thabiso Monyane is set to join Kaizer Chiefs after the expiry of his contract. Monyane, 25, is embarking on a new journey of his career, leaving the club where he was raised from the development structures, towards a new challenge at their Soweto rivals. SABC Sport broke the news last week that Amakhosi had been offered the chance to sign the player, and this website has it on good authority, a deal has been reached between the two parties.” Wrote the publication.
