Kaizer Chiefs have completed the signing of one of their key transfer targets ahead of the new season according to reports.

Kaizer Chiefs’ defensive problems during the recently concluded DStv Premiership campaign would have set the alarm bells ringing however management at Naturena have heeded the call and roped in one of the league’s star defenders.

27-year-old Swallows FC defender Njabulo Ngcobo has been one of the most sought after players in the league this season and the Amakhosi have seemingly won the race to his signature!

According to reports, Njabulo Ngcobo to Kaizer Chiefs is a done deal and will be announced next month once the Amakhosi’s transfer ban has lapsed.

“The Siya crew has now been informed that the player has agreed personal terms with the Glamour Boys and his move from Swallows is now imminent.” SoccerLaduma reported regarding Kaizer Chiefs break through in their pursuit of Swallows defender Njabulo Ngcobo.

“Don’t expect Chiefs or the Dube Birds to make any formal announcements until July 1 when the Amakhosi FIFA ban is officially lifted.

“Following an agreement, in principle, for Ngcobo to join Chiefs, indications are that the Defender of the Season, who recently also got called up by Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos, is happy with the terms of what is expected to be a two-year contract and possibly with added options to keep him at The Village for the long-term.”

Njabulo Ngcobo made 28 appearances for Swallows FC in the DStv Premiership and was pivotal in them losing only two matches this season. He’ll undoubtedly add value to the Kaizer Chiefs defence which will likely see more changes in personnel come the end of the month with the club being tipped for a revamp.
