Kaizer Chiefs’ chances of signing Ime Okon have seemingly dissipated as the SuperSport United youngset seems set for Europe.
According to reports, the 21-year-old, soon to be free agent is close to signing with an unnamed German side, tarnishing AmaKhosi hopes. Okon amassed 20 league appearances last campaign.
“Ime Okon is on the verge of joining an unnamed German side on a free transfer,” iDiski Times confirmed. “Okon has been heavily linked with a move to Kaizer Chiefs in the past few weeks with the 21-year-old centre-back having been impressive since making his debut for Matsatsantsa in August 2023.
“This publication has it in good authority that an unnamed German side is on the verge of agreeing personal terms with Okon and will sign him on a free transfer. Should Okon’s camp reach an agreement with the German side, he will fly over for medicals.”
Free agent alert
Remaining in Europe, Kaizer Chiefs have reportedly put pen to paper with winger Ethan Chislett after he was released by newly promoted League One side Port Vale.
Another free agent who is presumably on AmaKhosi’s radar is Rowan Human, who has already been offered to the Soweto giants.
“AmaZulu FC midfielder Rowan Human has been offered to Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs by his representatives as he is set to leave the club on a free transfer. Human will leave Usuthu at the end of June after his contract expires after the 24-year-old failed to reach an agreement with the club on a new contract,” a source revealed.
“Human has been offered to both Soweto giants by his representatives and it could only be a matter of time before he gets snapped up as he will be a free agent and rediscovered his old form.”
