South African football giants, Kaizer Chiefs, are making waves in the transfer market as they look to bolster their squad for the upcoming season. The latest target in their sights is a former Real Madrid prospect from Eswatini, Leon Manyisa.
The Soweto-based club has been actively monitoring the midfielder’s performances, with football manager Bobby Motaung personally scouting the player during the King’s Spectacular Cup.
Manyisa’s impressive display for the Eswatini national team at the COSAFA Cup further solidified his place on Chiefs’ radar.
Motaung is said to be highly impressed with the young talent and has already initiated discussions with the Chiefs technical team about a potential move.
Mbabane Swallows, Manyisa’s current club, are reportedly open to negotiations.
If the transfer materializes, Manyisa will join a list of Eswatini players who have made successful careers in the South African Premier Soccer League (PSL), including the likes of Dennis Masina, Wonder Nhleko, and Sbusiso Dlamini.
As Chiefs wrap up their pre-season camp in Turkey, the club is keen to finalize their squad before returning to South Africa for the Toyota Cup. Fans are eagerly anticipating the unveiling of new signings as the club aims to challenge for top honors in the upcoming season.
Will Leon Manyisa be the next big thing to emerge from Eswatini and make a name for himself at Kaizer Chiefs? Remain to be seen.
