Kaizer Chiefs are very close to signing South African left-back Nkanyiso Shinga, who currently plays in Portugal.
The 25-year-old’s contract with FC Alverca is set to expire on June 30, which means he is expected to join the South African side on a free transfer.
Chiefs are currently continuing their pre-season preparations in the Netherlands. Shinga is seen as an ideal option to fill the left-back position, which has been identified as one of the key gaps in the squad.
Once the Shinga deal is finalized, Kaizer Chiefs are expected to shift their focus to strengthening the attacking department.
Nkanyiso Shinga has been playing for Portuguese second division side FC Alverca. He has been a regular starter since the beginning of the season and has attracted interest from several clubs.
However, Kaizer Chiefs appear determined to land the defender, and the deal is expected to be completed in a short time.
