Kaizer Chiefs’ Chislett wants more

Kaizer an favourite Ethan Chislett has called on his teammates to stamp their authority despite their spirited win over ORBIT College.

“Obviously we are in good spirits from the last game. Confidence is high, although we know that we can improve and do better,” he told the club’s website.

“We can’t rest on previous results; we need to forget about them and focus completely on TS Galaxy, which it what we are doing.”

Ribeiro latest: Chiefs warned

Former Orlando Pirates midfielder Lebohang Mokoena has warned Kaizer Chiefs about the possibility of signing ex-Mamelodi Sundowns attacker Lucas Ribeiro.

“You can’t rule out Chiefs, but the only problem I have is, will Chiefs be able to break the bank to have a player like Ribeiro? Also, with history, there are only a few players who have moved from Sundowns and came to Chiefs and delivered,” Mokoena told Soccerbeat.

“I can mention only a few, you had Josta [Dladla], [Jose] Torrealba. But after that, the players who moved to Chiefs really struggled in terms of meeting the expectations that they came with.

“I don’t think it’s gonna be a wise move for Chiefs to get a player like Ribeiro, especially knowing that he played for a team like Sundowns and for him to join a team like Chiefs that is trying to get back a championship-winning mentality and winning ways.

“I would say to Kaizer Chiefs, no. Ribeiro is gone, we will see him. There are a lot of players in the country. They must just look and around until they will get some raw talent they need.
