Kaizer Chiefs lose out on Phete's signing

According to a report by the South African, the Soweto giants won't sign Phete from Portuguese second division side Chaves this summer as talks with the player broke down.

Phete and the Premier Soccer League giants failed to agree personal terms, leaving the 30-year-old to search for another club.

Nasreddine Nabi would've preferred to have Phete in his team due to his versatility. The South African international can play centre-back and defensive midfielder.
