As reported by Soccer Laduma, Chiefs were closing in on the signature of Bienvenu Eva Nga. The publication noted that the Cameroonian striker was on the verge of signing for the Amakhosi at that stage.

Now The South African have confirmed that the deal for the player has fallen through. This was confirmed by the player’s representative, Charles Domingoea.

“Yes, the deal is off, we couldn’t agree on personal terms and as things stand, it doesn’t look like Eva Nga will be going to Kaizer Chiefs as initially planned,” he said.

The publication also reported that AmaZulu have now entered the race for the player’s signature and looks set to hijack the deal.

Arthur Zwane recently admitted that there were a number of players at the club who were not good enough to play for the Amakhosi, Times LIVE reported. Zwane added that the club were looking to rebuild and bring in new players in order to return to their glory days.

Kaizer Chiefs are relentless in their pursuit to sign fresh faces ahead of the 2022/23 DStv Premiership season. The Amakhosi have endured another disappointing campaign this year and are looking to bolster their squad by bringing new players in and letting go of others.

As reported by iDiski Times, one of the players identified was Chippa United striker, Bienvenu Eva Nga. The Cameroon forward has scored ten goals this season but has been overshadowed by Victor Letsoalo and Pete Shalulile in the race for the Golden Boot.

Chippa United owner, Chippa Mpengesi, is understood to have agreed a deal in principle with Kaizer Chiefs for the player’s services. The Amakhosi are also belied to be interested in raiding Chippa United for Veluyeke Zulu. The defender has caught the eye of Chiefs’ scouts with his performances, Soccer Laduma reported.
