Former Mamelodi Sundowns star Gastón Sirino is willing to join Kaizer Chiefs ahead of the new season.
Kaizer Chiefs have signed Bongani Sam, Fiacre Ntwari, and Rushwin Dortley as part of their efforts to strengthen their squad. However, only Dortley has been officially unveiled by the club.
None of these new signings participated in Chiefs’ recent 4-0 loss to Yanga SC in the Toyota Cup. Sam was the only one who joined early enough to accompany the team to their pre-season camp in Turkey. Chiefs have faced challenges in securing several other targets as they look to bolster their roster for the upcoming season.
CHIEFS HAVE THREE NEW SIGNINGS SO FAR
Sam joins directly from arch rivals Orlando Pirates, even though he does so via two loan spell at Moroka Swallows. According to reports, he might not be the only player that could join Chiefs from a rival club.
It has been rumoured that Amakhosi have an interest in Gaston Sirino. Initial talk was, they were ready to move for the veteran playmaker, if he can severe ties from Mamelodi Sundowns. He has since done so and as a free agent, could join the club with very few hassles.
Now according to close source, Sirino is ready to join Chiefs, but only of new coach Nasreddine Nabi approves!
“Gaston (Sirino) is training on his own now and he’s ready for his next move but at the moment there’s nothing concrete here in South Africa. There was a possibility of him moving back to South America but he prefers to play in the PSL and if the new coach at Chiefs wants him, he’s ready to sign for them. He still has a lot to offer even though he is 33.”said the source to the same publication.
SIRINO READY TO JOIN IF NABI APPROVES
Chiefs currently have a very young squad, with Mduduzi Shabalala and Nkosingiphile Ngcobo the lead playmakers at the moment. There is also the more experienced Mduduzi Mdantsane who is currently injured. What the game against Yanga showed is that, there is no substitute for experience. That could be the way in which Sirino gets himself to Naturena.
