Kaizer Chiefs confirm signing of 'highly sought-after' young winger - 'A major potential asset in meeting the demands of a marathon campaign'

After weeks of speculation over a players-plus-cash deal being worked out between Stellenbosch and Amakhosi, the Soweto club have finally got their man. The 21-year-old joins as the club beefs up their squad ahead of chasing five trophies across domestic and continental competitions in the season ahead.

In a statement published to the Kaizer Chiefs official website, the club confirmed the capture of the 21-year-old:

Kaizer Chiefs are delighted to announce the signing of exciting and highly sought after young winger Langelihle Phili from Stellenbosch FC.

The 21-year-old sensation arrives at Amakhosi after a standout campaign last season in which he finished as Stellenbosch’s top scorer, netting nine goals and bagging both the player-of-the-season and players’-player-of-the-season awards. His performances earned widespread recognition and underlined his reputation as one of the most promising attacking talents in South African football.
