Kaizer Chiefs have announced their fifth acquisition of the window with the free signing of 23-year-old defender Yagan Sasman.

It was reported earlier in the month that the defender was in training with the club as Ernst Middendorp weighed up the possibility of bringing him in. Chiefs have now confirmed that he had earned himself a deal with the club by announcing it on their Twitter page on Wednesday.

Sasman came through the ranks at Ajax Cape Town, spending 12 years at the club before his contract expired, leaving him open to sign a three-year contract with the Soweto giants.

The left back, who can also play down the middle, was ever present for the Urban Warriors in 2018-19 campaign and has played around 50 senior games in total for Ajax since making his debut in 2017.

Chiefs have already signed Samir Nurkovic, James Koeti, Lazarous Kambole and Kearyn Baccus this window, but after a poor 2018-19 campaign more arrivals at Naturena can’t be ruled out.
