Sabelo Radebe, a promising teenage striker for the Soweto-based giants Kaizer Chiefs, may be about to finalize a loan deal away from the club before the transfer window closes.
There are only a few hours left until the end of the transfer window on Thursday at midnight, and reports indicate that Radebe may be playing his football away from Naturena this season. The window will close at midnight on Thursday.
This season, Sabelo Radebe came off the bench twice, once against Mamelodi Sundowns and once against Marumo Gallants. Although this may not seem like enough game-time for Radebe, it is an indication that the Chiefs forward arsenal is in good shape.
In the match against SuperSport United, in which Bonfils-Caleb Bimenyimana scored two goals and Ashley Du Preez assisted on one of them, Bimenyimana found the form that allowed him to score goals.
The striker position is adequately covered by Bimenyimana and Du Preez, and Radebe has competition in the form of Kgaogelo Sekgota, Keagan Dolly, and Khama Billiat.
It is believed that the Chiefs are in a race against time to get a loan deal for Sabelo Radebe over the line. This is because there is so much competition.
Another player who is being considered for a possible loan move is Austin Thabani Dube. However, Dube has already turned down a loan offer from Richards Bay FC, his former club, which is currently interested in acquiring his services.
It is believed that the Kaizer Chiefs football club is interested in signing another striker to play alongside Ashley Du Preez and Bonfils-Caleb Bimenyimana. There are still a few hours left before the clock strikes midnight, so anything could still take place.
This season, Sabelo Radebe has played for Kaizer Chiefs at least twice, which indicates that even if he does not move out on loan, he will continue to participate in some games for the club.
It is also in the best interest of the club to have choices in the attack in the event that one of the forwards does experience an injury at some point during the course of the season.
Even though the transfer window is only open today until midnight, and several last-minute deals might still be done, it is still uncertain whether the Chiefs will be able to get a deal for Radebe over the line in time.
