“He was set to train with the team at Naturena just so he could be assessed by the technical team before the outbreak of the corona virus.

He would have been a perfect fit for Chiefs because of the style and that they can sign him before the end of the season as he is a free agent. That would help in that even if their ban imposed by Fifa passes, he would have already signed,” claimed a source close to the player. 

Kumalo recently told Phakaaathi that he asked to be released by Sundowns because he felt he needed to get game time elsewhere.
