Kaizer Chiefs are said to have bagged yet another signing as the Glamour Boys continue to take advantage of the FIFA ban being lifted.
According to Siya sources privy to player transfers at Naturena, indications are that Chiefs and Richards Bay have reached an agreement on the sale of defender Austin Dube, who is currently with Bafana Bafana at the COSAFA Cup.
Chiefs are understood to have been tracking the player for several months now and biding their time until the sanction on signing new recruits was lifted at the start of July.
Dube, 28, has been one of the stand out players at Richards Bay in the GladAfrica Championship and was part of the team that that shocked his soon to be new employers in the Nedbank Cup second round in February.
He will be added to a list of six more players that have already joined Chiefs ahead of next season under new coach Stuart Baxter.
There has been no official word at The Village around new players, with insiders informing the Siya crew that management wants the team completely focused on what is arguably their biggest assignment to date – the CAF Champions League final on July 17.
Amakhosi face Pitso Mosimane’s Al Ahly in Morocco, and it is only then that announcements will be made official regarding those leaving and those joining the club.
It is believed Chiefs are currently in Limpopo preparing for the massive clash and have been joined by some of their recruits, though not all.
Dube is then expected to report for duty at the end of the COSAFA Cup, currently underway in Gqeberha, with the national team.
