Kaizer Chiefs have so far announced four new signings, ahead of the new season with a fifth seemingly loading.
The fifth signing is set to be that of Angolan centre-back Inacio Miguel, who will join the club imminently.
Miguel set to be signing five?
As it stands, Chiefs have signed the trio of Bongani Sam, Fiacre Ntwari and Rushwin Dortley to boost their defence. So far, it has only been the latter that has been unveiled by Amakhosi, this ahead of their 4-0 loss to Yanga SC. Neither of them did come on though, and had to watch the Toyota Cup loss to the Tanzanian giant. Sam is the only one of the trio who joined early enough to go to Turkey with the squad. The addition of Miguel is thought to be a shake up of their centre-back ranks, while the Angolan can also play in midfield.
Last week, this publication reported that Chiefs spent R10 million on signing Miguel, who they expect big things from. Now as they wait to announce his deal officially, they may have been beaten to that job already. That by the centre-back’s international and soon to be former club teammate at Petro de Luanda, Hugo Marques. The goalkeeper, who was formerly with Cape Town City in the Betway Premiership, post an animated picture of Miguel with Amakhosi badges in the background. This in a post on his instagram stories. It was well spotted by African football journalist Micky JNR.
Ex-teammate confirms Chiefs move?
““Making history in the land of Mandiba.”
Hugo Marques, the goalkeeper of Petro Luanda shared this on his instagram account as he’s happy for Kaizer Chiefs’ new center-back Miguel.” Wrote Micky Jnr on his official ‘X’ account.
Miguel is set to add to the centre-back and midfield stocks at Chiefs, with announcement from the club soon. Amakhosi fans, how excited are you to have the Angolan international at your club? Feel free to leave your thoughts and feelings below.
