Kaizer Chiefs have reportedly wrapped up a deal for Port Vale winger Ethan Chislett. How much do you know about him?

The 26-year-old was born in Durban and is now a free agent.

He’s reportedly snubbed offers from Scotland to join Amakhosi.

Kaizer Chiefs land Chislett for free

South African winger Ethan Chislett has bounced around the lower leagues in England since 2016 and also had a spell with Reus Reddis in the Catalonian region of Spain. Now, he’s set for a move to Kaizer Chiefs. This via FARPost:

“UK-based midfielder Ethan Chislett has opted to join Kaizer Chiefs, turning down offers from overseas clubs, FARPost has been informed. Following his departure from Port Vale, he reportedly attracted the interest of Scottish Premiership outfit Motherwell and EFL League One team Wigan. However, this publication can confirm that the Durban-born playmaker has opted to sign with Chiefs. Chislett has reportedly agreed to a two-year deal with the 2025 Nedbank Cup champions, Chiefs, with an option for extension. In a recent interview, the talented midfielder explained that a move back to South Africa aligns with his professional ambitions and personal goals.“

Depu to bolster the Kaizer Chiefs attack?

25-year-old Angolan striker Laurindo Dilson Aurelio has zero goals and one assist in 24 league games in Serbia last season. Not the most mind-blowing record. He did, however, excel for Angola in a recent Cosafa Cup match against Bafana.

Pre-season tour edges closer

As you’ll know by now, Chiefs are heading to the land of Dennis Bergkamp, Virgil van Dijk and Wesley Sneijder for their European pre-season tour adventure. The Glamour Boys jet out on 03 July and conclude the tour on 19 July. It should be a fun fortnight! George Matlou, somewhat surprisingly, will be on the flight.
