In a shocking turn of events, Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly on the verge of signing Thembinkosi Lorch from Mamelodi Sundowns. This move, if successful, would be one of the most significant transfers of the January window.
According to sources, Kaizer Chiefs have already made significant progress in bolstering their attacking department, with two forward signings imminent. The club is expected to announce the acquisitions of Tashreeq Morris and Glody Lilepo shortly. Morris will join Chiefs permanently as part of a swap deal that sees Christian Saile move to SuperSport United on loan. Lilepo, a DRC international winger, has agreed to personal terms with Chiefs after the club matched his valuation set by Valenciennes FC. The reported transfer fee for Lilepo is €500,000 (R9.6 million).
However, it appears that these two signings may not be the only additions to Kaizer Chiefs' attacking department. A sensational report from Sunday World claims that the club is working tirelessly behind the scenes to secure the services of Thembinkosi Lorch from Mamelodi Sundowns. The report suggests that club bosses from both teams have engaged in talks, with Sundowns' sporting director, Flemming Berg, reportedly offering Lorch to Chiefs.
This development is seen as a positive sign for Kaizer Chiefs, as Berg's involvement in the negotiations may increase the likelihood of a successful transfer. A source close to the matter revealed to Sunday World that Kaizer Chiefs' objective is to bring Lorch on board to guide the club's younger players, such as Mduduzi Shabalala and Mfundo Vilakazi, in attack. The source also mentioned that Lorch's lack of playing time at Sundowns makes him an attractive target for Chiefs.
If Kaizer Chiefs are successful in signing Lorch, it would be a significant coup for the club, and the move is likely to be announced at the end of the transfer period.
