Kaizer Chiefs are set to strengthen their squad during the offseason transfer window and they are said to be interested in signing ZESCO United midfielder Luka Mutoshi.
According to a source, the 22-year-old central midfielder caught the eye of Amakhosi during the CAF Confederation Cup, where he featured in the defeat in South Africa. Overall, the Zambian international made three appearances for ZESCO in this season’s competition.

“Talks between Chiefs and Zesco have started and they are progressing well,” said the source close to the Zambian outfit.
The source added that Mutoshi is keen on a move to Naturena.
“The player wants to go to South Africa. What’s left now is for the two clubs to agree on the transfer fee. Chiefs are a very big club and everyone knows them here in Zambia and Luka believes a move to them will really enhance his career. He wants to play overseas some day and believes that a move to Chiefs will be the perfect step towards achieving that goal.”
