Argentinian striker undergoes medicals at Chiefs

Jonathan Philippe is undergoing medical tests at Kaizer Chiefs ahead of his expected move, the Soweto giants said on Tuesday.


“Argentinian centre forward Jonathan Philippe is undergoing medicals and assessment. More details in due course,” said Chiefs on their official Twitter account.

The 29-year-old centre forward arrived in South Africa late last week, but did not travel with the team to play the Township Rollers.

Philippe, who left Greek side Agrotikos Asteras at the end of June, started his training this week, and it looks like he has already impressed Steve Komphela and his technical team.

Meanwhile, former Black Aces striker Darren Lurie and former Estoril Praia midfielder Arnaldo Gomes are also trying their luck at Chiefs.
