AmaZulu midfielder Siyethemba Sithebe could be on the verge of completing a move to Kaizer Chiefs, with reports suggesting that the transfer will go through as soon as the clubs agree a fee.

The tough-tackling midfielder has been linked with a move to Chiefs for some time with his contract at AmaZulu up at the end of the season in June.

Usuthu were keen to hold on to their player but, with a move now appearing imminent, they are reportedly looking to cash in while they still can. Sithebe is expected to be unveiled by Amakhosi soon after reaching total agreement on a lucrative contract, according to Kickoff.com.

The site quotes a source close to the deal, who revealed that: “The only thing left is for Chiefs to finalise an agreement with AmaZulu.

“Sithebe has even already chosen his jersey number that he will be wearing at his new club,” the source added.

Chiefs will be hoping to hit the ground running when the league resumes in February and the signing of Sithebe will certainly boost a part of the field where Chiefs have been struggling.
