Former head coach 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.

Bimenyimana arrived at Chiefs, somewhat belatedly having been released after undergoing a trial during pre-season. It then seemed like a rather strange decision by Zwane and his Amakhosi management to sign a player who they initially did not see as a perfect fit for the club. Just last week, it was reported the Zwane had told the Burundian international in front of his teammates that he was not part of his plans going forward.

It was reported by this publication last month that Bimenyimana had turned down an offer from an unnamed Ukrainian club. It was then believed, however, that the player was one step closer to joining Moroccan giants Wydad Casablanca, in one of the biggest shocks of the window so far. But now according to Austin Ditlhobolo of goal.com SA, the player could have to wait a little longer to complete that deal.

Now it remains to be seen whether this is just a simple delay until the appointment is finalized, or the Ramzi will opt not to take on any prior agreed signing he has no knowledge of, effectively causing a collapse of the deal Chiefs had agreed with Wydad for Bimenyimana.
