Arthur Zwane had often lamented the lack of finishing from his Chiefs side despite signing Ashley du Preez, Bimenyimana and Christian Saile last season. Now according to the latest reports, Chiefs are set to go through yet another revamp and this time more than just age, it will also be the overall contribution that will decided whether a player stays at Naturena for the next season or not. One of those players who is thought to have not had the desired effect is striker Bimenyimana.

“Caleb is returning to the club after playing well for Burundi in the AFCON qualifier. He’s not taking the overseas offer, so he’s returning to Chiefs for pre-season. It looks like it’ll be tricky to move him this transfer window,” a source said to the same publication.

FARPost were the first publication to drop the bombshell that Bimenyimana was not wanted at Chiefs anymore, which proved to be true. Amakhosi fans will have every reason to worried now that they report he could stay.
