*Note: This is an updated article on Chiefs’ reported striker signing
Basomboli – who plays for Nchanga Rangers in Zambia – was recently on trial with Chiefs as they looked to assess if he would be a good fit at the club.
In the latest bombshell news, SABC Sport reports that the 22-year-old looks set to come to South Africa to conclude his deal with Chiefs after transfer talks were successfully reignited between the two clubs.
The highly-regarded forward returned to the Rangers team on Saturday, scoring twice as his Zambian club clinched a 2-1 win over ZANACO, although both goals were from the penalty spot.
Nevertheless, the abilities of the youngster, as well as what he offers with his left-footed abilities, will certainly serve to excite Amakhosi fans.

Chiefs have been on the hunt for another striker
Recently, there have been clear indications that Amakhosi could look to make a couple more squad additions in the next transfer window, with Amakhosi still far from the finished product.
Furthermore, Chiefs’ relative lack of depth in terms of strike-power has been exposed after an injury worry over Bonfils-Caleb Bimenyimana, who has been carrying a considerable weight of responsibility on his shoulders.
Coach Arthur Zwane has previously made no secret of the fact Chiefs are at least in the process of fine-tuning a profile of possible players – and particularly strikers – they may look to target in the next transfer window.
