Following the reports, the club’s Director of Football Kaizer Motaung Jnr has since verified the reports that the left-footed defender is indeed under the watchful eyes of Arthur Zwane and Dillon Sheppard.

ZWANE CONFIRMS KAIZER CHIEFS NEED A LCB

The arrival of Edmilson, who currently plays for Mozambique’s US Songo after a shock departure from City in January, occurs after coach Zwane confirmed the urgent need for a left-footed central defender.

“We are looking for a left footed centreback, who can defend and also pick out our strikers with a pass” Zwane told via Ukhozi FM on Wednesday 27 July.

Will Edmilson impress Zwane? We shall find out in the coming days or weeks.

Meanwhile, the 12-time PSL champions are kicking off the new season against Royal AM on Saturday.
