Siyabonga Nkosi returns to Naturena as Pirates confirms Chansa's departure.

According to Orlando Pirates' official website, it has been confirmed that Isaac Chansa has been sold to a Chinese club Henan Jianye FC. The Pirates statement reads: “Although the club would have liked to keep the African Cup of Nations winner at the team for the new season, the player had already expressed his intentions to move overseas for a fresh challenge and hence the club ceded to the players request.

“Chansa has represented the club with distinction since returning from his short stint in Sweden. The Zambian international was instrumental in both treble winning seasons for the Buccaneers.

“On behalf of the Orlando Pirates family we would like to wish Isaac Chansa all the best at his new club.” 

Meanwhile, after the signing of Zimbabwean striker Takesure Chinyama, Head Coach Augusto Palacios said that he is happy to have the player at the club by adding: “At Orlando Pirates we only want to bring the best players. He signed with the team because he is a good player. I like the way he makes his runs and he has good touches on the ball.

“He trained with us today and from what I could see, he is a player with tremendous potential; playing for Pirates is different – the players have very little time to adjust because this is a big club and the fans demand a lot from the players.

“He needs to gain match fitness and I hope he will give that depth in the team’s’ attack,” Palacios concluded. 

On the other hand, Kaizer Chiefs have confirmed a surprise return of Siyabonga Nkosi to Naturena. We are all entitled to our own opinions but Nkosi's return to Chiefs doesn't seem like a good move at all. What are your thoughts?
