Ghanaian midfielder Hubert Gyau has been reported to be on the radar of Kaizer Chiefs and after signing for a new agency, his immediate future has been revealed.

Gyau, who plays for Ghanaian giants Asante Kotoko, is reportedly being tracked by Chiefs with a price tag of R6 million on his head.

However, Chiefs also face competition from Danish sides Midtjylland and Randers and big-spending Tanzanian club Azam and after signing him up to his agency Prosport International, the player management company’s CEO Mike Makaab has shared what his knows about his situation.

“Firstly, let me say this, that honestly we’ve had no approach from any football club regarding Hubert at the moment, we’ve just signed the player and if there has been, I don’t like to say the story is correct or the story is not correct,” Mikaab told Soccer Laduma.

Kaizer Chiefs target on a long contract

“If there is interest, then possibly Chiefs have spoken to Asante but I can’t verify that, we’ve just signed the player. We don’t work in a way that we sign a player and the following day start marketing him.

“We obviously have to understand his contract situation, which we do know, he has a fairly long-term contract with Asante Kotoko and we have to respect that,” he further said.

However, the prominent agent is thrilled that he has a massive talent on his hands who he feels will enjoy a great career if he follows the right path.

What does the future hold for Gyau?

“Obviously we believe he’s an incredibly talented player. I’ve seen him play a few different positions but he’s a very dynamic midfielder and has a wonderful second range shot and that obviously is always advantageous when you’re playing teams that have a low block and you’re having to try and do something from a distance,” he added about the qualities of the midfielder.

Makaab has promised to sort out the player’s future soon, potentially putting Chiefs on alert, as they make plans for the off-season transfer window.  

“So at the moment, we’re sitting down and looking at where we believe his strengths are as a football player and we’ll obviously discuss it with him and his family and then after we’ll start looking for opportunities but with the blessing of Asante Kotoko, we have to understand that,” Makaab stated.
