Congolese winger Glody Malabo Lilepo has signed a 2.5-year deal with Kaizer Chiefs, a team in the Betway Premiership. This move comes after a tough first half of the 2024/2025 PSL season.

Lilepo Brings a Missing Piece of Kaizer Chief’s Squad, as he has played 4 matches for the French third-tier with 3 goals scored, and is expected to arrive in South Africa in the coming days to finalise his move to the 2024/25 Premiership champions.

Scoring from wide positions has become a regular thing, but Chiefs have had trouble with set pieces, like corners and free kicks near the box. Currently, the Soweto Giants are in 5th place on the PSL table with 21 points.

Various Kaizer Chiefs fans took to social media, with Philani Sbo writing on Facebook, “I know him from Al Hilal, just like Saile. He has more speed, but he’s not technically gifted and lacks football intelligence. Chiefs should have gone for Kitambala from Maniema – that one knows how to score and causes problems for the opponent’s defense.”

Another fan, Sydney Mahlangu, said, “Justice Lekubu, let’s hope he will give us something. It’s been a long time since we’ve been a laughing stock to many people.”

The signing of Christian Saile, Bonfils- Caleb Bimenyimana, Ranga Chivaviro, and Ashley Du Preez, have left Amakhosi shocked by a very shaky performance from the above strikers who were expected to make a big impact in the attacking side of Kaizer Chiefs.
