This was one of the biggest news of the week. Ethan Chislett has signed for Kaizer Chiefs ahead of the 2025/26 Betway Premiership season.

As reported by FARPost and iDiski Times, the 26-year-old attacking midfielder has put pen to paper on a two-year deal after declining to renew his deal with Port Vale FC in the English League One division.

To the delight of Kaizer Chiefs followers, Chislett is not any number 10 but the type that has scored 40 goals in English football.

According to the popular YouTube pundit Khanye, Sipho Mbule should have been the midfielder going to Kaizer Chiefs. “I see the guy, and if I’m not mistaken, I think he was playing in the second or third division wherever he is coming from,” Khaye said to Soccer Laduma. “In terms of South African football, it’s more of a Vodacom (ABC Motsepe) League where he is coming from, I have been told.

“I don’t think it’s the right direction by Kaizer Chiefs to be bringing the guy, although I can’t comment much because I haven’t seen him play, to be fair to him. It’s very difficult to judge a player before you have seen him with your own eyes playing.

“What Orlando Pirates have done with the signing of Sipho Mbule, that’s what Kaizer Chiefs should have done. Chiefs should have signed Mbule if they really wanted to compete in the Betway Premiership. Mbule was going to make a huge difference for Chiefs,” concluded Khanye.
