Chippa United secure signing of Orlando Pirates midfielder Azola Tshobeni on permanent deal

South African outfit Chippa United have completed the acquisition of attacking midfielder Azola Tshobeni in the ongoing summer transfer window.

The 23-year-old is joining Chippa United from fellow South African outfit Orlando Pirates and is expected to play a huge for the club in the upcoming 2025/26 football campaign.

Azola Tshobeni struggled for playing time last season. However, his imminent move to Chippa United is expected to grant him enough playing time next season, offering him greater opportunities for growth and development.

Tshobeni joined the Pirates back in 2020, but over five years, he struggled to cement a key role, making just 11 appearances and failing to register any goal contributions.

As the new Premier League campaign approaches, Chippa United are expected to make more acquisition in the ongoing transfer window to bolster their squad.

Chippa United are determined to make a meaningful impact and are poised to do everything possible to succeed in the upcoming 2025/26 campaign.
