The chase for the signing of Mmodi has been an interesting one before and during the current season. Now with the latest developments, it looks as if it will get even hotter a the end of the season. It was initially Chiefs who were thought to be leading the pursuit ahead of the campaign, with Amakhosi reportedly lining him up on a free. Those plans then hit a snag when Golden Arrows decided to trigger their one-year option on the player’s contract.

That then ensured that any party interested in Mmodi would have to folk out a transfer fee, and that seemed to discourage Chiefs. As the season went by, strong rumours of Pirates coming in to hijack that move then started to surface. According to widespread reports yesterday, the player who will soon part ways with Arrows as a free agent, is set to sign for the Glamour Boys when his deal with the Durban side expires at the end of June.
