Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates could lose out on top striker and Botswana Premier League top goalscorer Jean Lwamba.
The DR Congo international finished as joint-top scorer with 15 goals last season and has been under the radar of many teams across the continent. Lwamba, who plays for Botswana outfit Tafic FC, helped his side finish second behind Gaborone United in the Botswana Premier League last season.
Tafic FC chairman Tumelo Toteng has revealed that several teams have shown interest in his star.
Chiefs and Pirates looking to sign Botswana-based striker?
“There is a lot of interest. A few teams have shown interest, and we are currently engaged in negotiations with three PSL clubs,” he told KickOff.com.
“Additionally, two teams from Morocco have expressed their interest in the player.
“We expect to finalise everything by this Friday (20 June).”
“We have agreed on confidentiality until the terms have been finalised.
Toteng did not reveal if Chiefs or Pirates made an offer for his striker but mentioned that Lwamba could move to South Africa, North Africa or even Europe.
“Lwamba is ready for the next step, whether that is in South Africa, North Africa, or Europe. He plays as a striker, but he is also comfortable on the wing.
“His main strengths are his ability to retain the ball through strength and skill, linking play effectively, and possessing ruthless aggression in front of goal,” he said.
According to KickOff, the Congolese striker told the publication that his desire was to play for Chiefs or Pirates.
Which Soweto team needs a striker? will Lwamba be a perfect fit?
