Kaizer Chiefs have reignited interest in one of their former midfielders, Lebohang Lesako, who currently plays for Casric Stars in the PSL promotion/relegation playoffs. Sources confirmed that the Soweto giants have closely monitored his recent performances and made enquiries about his availability.
The source revealed the club has taken a keen interest in Lesako’s development.
“Some Chiefs scouts and recruiters have been following his progress. They know him already as he is their former player and they are happy on how he has progressed from where he was before to where he is this season. He has shown growth both as a player and as a person and that’s what makes them happy with his progress. They are believed to have enquired about him as they have shown interest in him,” the source disclosed.
Lesako’s rise at Casric Stars draws Chiefs back
Lesako has become a central figure for Casric Stars this season, featuring prominently throughout their Motsepe Foundation Championship campaign. His consistent form and maturity on the pitch have not gone unnoticed, especially by his former employers, who initially signed him during the 2020/2021 season.
After struggling for game time at Naturena, the 25-year-old sought regular football elsewhere, first with Uthongathi and later Moroka Swallows. That gamble appears to have paid off, with his current displays making a strong case for a second chance at the Glamour Boys.
Timing the only hurdle for a possible return
While Chiefs seem keen to bring Lesako back, any potential move will have to wait until Casric Stars wrap up their playoff campaign. With their focus firmly on promotion, discussions about the midfielder’s future are likely to intensify once the season concludes.
Is Lebohang Lesako the right player that Kaizer Chiefs needs now?
