Kaizer Chiefs defender stuck in limbo at Naturena?

“We’re not having discussions with Chiefs, we’re waiting for them to decide [whether they exercise the option to extend],” his agent Sizwe Ntshangase told FARPost.

“We’re not waiting for June, Kaizer Chiefs will contact us anytime.”

There is a silver lining to Nange’s troubles though as he’s been linked with a move away from Naturena.

A move that will undoubtedly see him play under a coach that values him more than Arthur Zwane.

At least TWO top flight sides are interested in signing Nange next season according to the latest transfer reports.
