As the new signing was recently reported on by Entertainment SA, Kaizer Chiefs have finally unveiled their new striker Christian Saile Basomboli.
The lanky Cameroon striker has arrived at the club’s base in Naturena and was officially unveiled on Wednesday afternoon.
ESA reported that Amakhosi confirmed Saile’s signing just before facing Mamelodi Sundowns last weekend, a game they went on to lose via a 1-0 scoreline.
Heading to Twitter, the Soweto bigshots welcomed the hitman but it seems there are contrasting reactions to their new recruit.
Basomboli joins coach Arthur Zwane’s side from Zambian top-flight side Nchanga Rangers, and the 22-year-old has penned a three-and-a-half-year deal at Naturena.

“If we can’t have patience now, then we might as well forget about it! This is the first project under new management that actually makes sense since the first Baxter regime. You were living a fantasy if you thought Zwane was going to hit the ground running and chow everyone!”
@Touch commented:
“I’m not negative but to go for a striker who has scored 7 goals in 19 games is questionable, I rather go for a local Khanyisa Mayo who has the potential to become a top scorer given the right support from midfielders.”
@Mboniseni Stewart said:
“This was Musona’s jersey and we expect a lot from him. We wish him all the best to the Khosi family.”
@Basil Selai reacted:
“Mgijimi this one. He can run, I hope he can score goals. Welcome to our fallen giant & settle fast.”
@Pfarelo posted:
“You are getting a very special jersey that has been worn by legends like Musona and Thabang Lebese so please represent the jersey with pride.”
The Glamour Boys family will hope to see Saile in action for the first time in Chiefs colours as they welcome Royal AM at Peter Mokaba Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
