Mabena could join the list of players that have played for both Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs, with Goal.com reporting that Amakhosi are interested in signing him. Chiefs is said to be one of five team looking to acquire the services of Dikwena’s in-form forward, with SuperSport United reportedly competing with the Glamour Boys.
“That has never ever unsettled me,” Johnson said.
“It will never unsettle me as the coach because those things always happen in football, and I always tell my players as well that they should perform so that there is always interest in their services.”
“If you don’t believe other clubs are looking at you then you must know that you are redundant. So you should always play in such a way that other clubs always want to buy you,” Johnson continued.
“Whether you have a 10-year contract or 5-minute contract, it doesn’t matter, and football is like that, so whatever the hype or talk about Mabena, it doesn’t bother me.”
