The South African poked fun at the Columbian's anticipated trip to Home Affairs and how painstaking the long queues and slow service will be for him. The publication also reported that playing in the Amakhosi’s DStv Premiership clash against AmaZulu on Saturday may not be a possibility for him.

González comes with impressive credentials with hopes to curb Chiefs' losing streak

According to Business Day, Chiefs’ signing of Palacios comes a day after they offloaded Burundian forward Bonfils-Caleb Bimenyimana on Wednesday, freeing up a spot for a foreigner in their squad.

The South American arrives with strong statistics and an apparently decent pedigree.

González is the second South American acquired by Chiefs this season as new head coach Molefi Ntseki has embarked on a mission of rebuilding their squad with impressive signings, seeking to end Amakhosi’s painful eight campaigns without a trophy.
