Kaizer Chiefs SIGN Colombian striker

Kaizer Chiefs have announced the signing of Colombian striker Efmamjjasond Gonzáles Palacios.

Amakhosi were rumoured to have captured the forward a week ago but nothing official was posted by the club or the player until Thursday morning.

The 24-year-old striker played for Real Santa Cruz in Bolivia and scored eight goals in 16 matches this year.

“The forward, simply known as Jasond González, is the second player from Colombia to sign for Amakhosi. He joins the team a year after his fellow countryman, Leonardo Castro, departed South Africa.

González, who was plying his trade in the Bolivian Primera Division for Real Santa Cruz, is expected to arrive in South Africa soon to start his career as a Glamour Boy,” Kaizer Chiefs said in a statement.

“If I was to say I am happy with our last-third entries, I am not,” Molefi Ntseki said as quoted by FarPost.

“The last-third entries are very important if you want to win games. If you can’t win games from combinations and penetration, you have to make use of the set-plays.”

Kaizer Chiefs have already brought in Thatayaone Ditlhokwe, Given Msimango, Edson Castillo, Ranga Chivaviro, Mduduzi Msantsane, and Tebogo Pontsane this season.

Amakhosi travel to Mbombela this Sunday to face a tricky TS Glaxy side but will be without their new striker.
