Thidiela comments on Chiefs’ interest in Musonda

Black Leopards chairperson David Thidiela has dismissed reports linking striker Mwape Musonda with a move to Kaizer Chiefs.


Musona has been linked with a move to Chiefs after he scored 16 goals for Leopards last season.

The Zambian striker said he was keen on joining Chiefs if the club was interested in signing him next season.

Thidiela confirmed that they had received offers from several clubs, but Chiefs had not contacted them about Musona’s services.

Chiefs have signed Lazarus Kambole in the current transfer window.

“We want to sell Musonda because he has done a good job for us. We want him to join a club that plays in a top league, what more do we need from him?” Thidiela was quoted by Isolezwe.

“This guy has scored goals for us in the National First Division (NFD), we returned to the PSL and he continued to score goals and won the top goalscorer award.

“There are teams that we are talking to with his manager. I can confirm that Kaizer Chiefs is not part of those clubs that we are talking to. Chiefs have not talked to us up until now.

“Some of these clubs are based overseas and they have shown an interest and determination. However, everything regarding his future will be decided in the next few weeks,” concluded Thidiela.
