The Full Story
Kaizer Chiefs have signed arguably one of the league’s most promising operators in Langelihle Phili. What does that mean for Pule Mmodi, though?
Mmodi faces a struggle for game time
With Phili’s arrival, Chiefs have several wide attacking options. There’s the option of right-footed Asanele Velebayi as an inverted left winger, while Phili’s two-footedness makes him a great option on that flank too. Pule Mmodi, often deployed wide on the left, could be falling further down the pecking order. Meanwhile, 21-year-old Phili, known for his low centre of gravity, trickery and accurate shooting, is excited about the move:
“Everyone at home supports Amakhosi, so I thought it would be a good move for me to join the team I grew up supporting and being here feels like my dream has really come true.”
MTN8 action next for Kaizer Chiefs
Against Kruger United on matchday 1 of the new season, some surprise names made starts. Among those were Ethan Chislett in the number 10 position and Luke Baartman wide in attack. Chiefs beat the newcomers 3-1. Vilakazi claimed an assist, so he can expect to keep his place for the MTN8 clash against Golden Arrows. Chiefs welcome Arrows to FNB Stadium on Sunday, 9 August at 18:00.
