REPORTS: KAIZER CHIEFS STILL LOOKING AT SUPERSPORT UNITED DEFENDER

According to the reports from the leading transfers outlet Soccer Laduma, the 22-year-old central defender, Fleurs, could have a future at Naturena.

The Ubuntu Cape Town academy graduate was thought to be on his way to the Glamour Boys but coach Arthur Zwane seemed to have settled for Zitha Kwininka and Edmilson Dove.

But it is not all over for Fleurs’ possible Amakhosi dream, who already has 64 games and two goals for United at the age of 22.

The newest reports say the Glamour Boys have offered Cole Alexander in a swap deal.

WHY ARTHUR ZWANE COULD BE KEEN ON FLEURS

Reasons for any given club’s interest in players will always vary, for Amakhosi, it could be based on the situation of two existing players.

While coach Zwane has been fairly rotating his central defending options, two players have hardly been given any real minutes: Erick Mathoho and Thabani Dube.

With the clock ticking towards the January transfer window and both players aged 33 and 29 respectively, game-time is what they need. We are most likely to see at least one of them leaving Naturena in January or the end of the season.

This is where Fleurs comes into the picture as a replacement.
