Chiefs look to Chippa to end goal woes – report

A player on-loan at Chippa United could be the answer to the striker problems at out of form Kaizer Chiefs, according to reports.

Etios Ighadaro is the man in the news.

The Nigerian forward has 10 goals in all competitions which has been enough for him to be linked with a Chiefs move.

Soccer-Laduma have reported that Chiefs will go asking Sundowns for the deal if they can’t get Khanyisa Mayo to join the club.

“Both the technical team and management have agreed that if they can’t get Khanyisa Mayo they should go for Ighodaro.

“But everyone knows that the problem is that the player belongs to Sundowns. No one really knowns what will happen with him now, as it seems they won’t get Mayo.

“All is in the hands of Sundowns and not the player” said the Soccer-Laduma source.
