Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly enquiring about Casric Stars midfielder Lebohang Lesako.
The 26-year-old is currently involved in the PSL promotion/relegation playoffs, where his team are bottom of the table. With Stars looking unlikely to get promoted to the PSL, Lesako’s performance should at least get him signed by a Premier League side.
This week, Soccer Laduma reported that Amakhosi were following the progress of the 26-year-old. The Soweto giants are yet to announce any new signings but they have so far parted ways with five players.
Kaizer Chiefs linked with Casric Stars player
Soccer Laduma reported that Lesako was once in Kaizer Chiefs books in the 2020/21 season but left due to lack of opportunities.
“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,” an insider told the publication.
Kaizer Chiefs are flying off to the Netherlands, where they will camp for two weeks for their pre-season training.
“They are believed to be respecting Castic Stars and are giving them space as they are still fighting in the playoffs. It’s apparently believed that after the playoffs, that’s when things can open up. But the interest is there in Lebohang Lesako,” the insider added.
