Huge interest in discarded Chiefs striker

Manqele, who parted ways with Chiefs over a week ago, is currently on the lookout for a new club.

“The boy is in good shape. We have something coming up for him soon. We will let you know. We just wanted him to be free first, because it doesn’t help for a striker of his quality to be sitting and not playing. If you’re no longer in the coach’s plans then definitely you need to go elsewhere. Chiefs were willing to let him and he was willing to go. So, everything was just OK,” Ngobeni told Goal.

“There are PSL teams that have already shown interest in him, but I can’t reveal their names as yet. We have already been approached. You know Manqele and what he’s capable of doing. He just needs to be given a chance, and there’s no doubt that he can score goals, and everyone is aware of that.”

Free State Stars and Highlands Park are believed to be among the teams that have shown interest in Manqele.
