Stellenbosch close to signing Ex-Kaizer Chiefs star
According to a report by iDiskiTimes, Stellenbosch are close to signing former Kaizer Chiefs star Thato Khiba from Premier Soccer League rivals TS Galaxy.
The 28-year-old midfielder is rated as one of the best players for the Rockets and has been a target for top sides in the Betway Premiership.
Khiba joined TS Galaxy in 2023 from Marumo Gallants and has since established himself as one of the club's most important players.
Stellies initially faced stiff competition from Orlando Pirates for the midfielder, but they have moved past the Buccaneers on the negotiation table as they've already submitted an official bid to TS Galaxy president Tim Sukazi.
The Sea Robbers' interest in the Glamour Boys academy graduate came in late, and they might be missing out on a versatile midfielder they crave.
