Just two weeks ago, this publication reported that both Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns could be on high alert as Cele could now be available on a free transfer. The midfielder’s contract at Radomiak has an option to extend for one more season and it was expected that the club would take it up, affecting both Amakhosi and Masandawana plans of signing the player. But now, according to the latest update, there is now every chance that the original plan could be back in motion.

Seeing such performance might’ve had Chiefs fans reminiscing on what could’ve been, had their club been able to wrap up a deal for Cele two season ago. The player himself admitted to waiting for the club to sign him, but nothing materialised. From there, he ended up plying his trade abroad. The box-to-box star has also made no secret of his love for Amakhosi, growing up as a supporter of the club, so that deal would’ve meant a lot more to him.
Cele to join Chiefs this week?
Now it looks as if Cele’s dream is set to come true, with confirmation from Prince Sobayeni on Twitter. Sobayeni has been close with Cele for a number of years now, since monitoring the midfielders progress in Portugal. The two often have regular dialogue and it looks as if the player may have privately confirmed to him that he is joining Chiefs. More so, Sobayeni even put a timeline on the move saying the player will be a Glamour Boy as early as this week!
