South African outfit Kaizer Chiefs have completed the acquisition of Nigeria forward Etiosa Ighodaro in the current transfer window.
The 24-year-old joins the Soweto giants on a permanent deal from fellow South African side Mamelodi Sundowns. With his wealth of experience, he is expected to play a huge role for the club, who are desperate to make a meaningful impact in the current campaign.
Ighodaro arrived in South Africa in July 2021 and has played for several Premier League outfits, scoring a total of 25 goals in 97 appearances.

However, Sporting Director, Kaizer Motaung Jr. has eulogize the signing of the talented attacker while tipping him to succeed at the club.
“We warmly welcome Etiosa into the Kaizer Chiefs family. We’re excited that he has joined our journey. His passion, work rate and dedication will surely add to the team this season and beyond. We look forward to creating unforgettable moments together in the Gold & Black colours of the Glamour Boys. Here’s to new beginnings and the spirit of Amakhosi.” He said.
Kaizer Chiefs have had a brilliant start to the campaign, winning two straight games in the top-flight.
