Phiri is a target for Kaizer Chiefs
Lebogang Phiri, a versatile central midfielder, has spent his entire senior career in Europe. He left the Bidvest Wits junior setup in 2013 for Denmark’s Brondby and never looked back. Phiri has six caps for Bafana Bafana.
“Word reaching iDiski Times is that Kaizer Chiefs could be looking to bring another South African midfielder back from Europe, with Lebogang Phiri the latest name linked to the Nedbank Cup champions. Phiri, a former Bidvest Wits youth player, left the country as a teenager,” the outlet reported.
“He spent the past season in France with Guingamp. The 30-year-old, who came to the fore at Brondby, is believed to be considering his options, and while there are European opportunities for Phiri, a good offer from Naturena may be able to persuade him to return to Mzansi.
“In the 14 years Phiri has been abroad, he has played in Denmark, France and Turkey,” the report concluded.
Is Phiri the right profile of player for Kaizer Chiefs?
