On Thursday, ACSM Politehnica Lasi surfaced as a noteworthy contender in the pursuit of Bafana Bafana forward Luther Singh. This unexpected development introduced an interesting twist to the ongoing speculation regarding Singh’s future in football.
Earlier reports indicated that FCSB’s interest in securing Luther Singh was waning, potentially opening a window for Kaizer Chiefs to step in. Was this the opportunity they needed to bring Singh to Naturena?
Luther Singh has built an impressive career in Europe, having played for several reputable clubs, including SC Braga, Moreirense FC, Chaves, and most recently FK Cukaricki, from which he departed in January 2024. His vast experience and goal-scoring prowess have made him a highly coveted player across the continent.
### KAIZER CHIEFS STILL IN THE RUNNING
Despite facing previous obstacles, Kaizer Chiefs remain a key player in the race to sign Singh. Sources close to the negotiations have revealed that discussions are ongoing, with Singh being identified as a crucial addition to enhance their attacking lineup for the upcoming season. The club is eager to significantly bolster its squad, and Singh’s profile aligns perfectly with their objectives.
AEL LIMASSOL SECURES SINGH
While Kaizer Chiefs maintained a strong position in the negotiations, they faced stiff competition from Egyptian giants Al Ahly and the Cypriot club AEL Limassol in the battle for Luther Singh.
The latest update, confirmed by The South African, reveals that AEL Limassol has successfully secured Luther Singh’s signature. The Cypriot club officially announced the signing on Friday evening, committing to a two-year contract with an option for extension.
Luther Singh’s transfer to AEL Limassol marks the continuation of his European journey, where he aims to bring his skills and experience to their campaign. For Kaizer Chiefs, missing out on Singh represents a setback in their efforts to strengthen their squad. Nonetheless, with ongoing discussions and strategic plans for the upcoming season, Chiefs are actively exploring other potential signings to reinforce their team ahead of the new campaign.
This move to AEL Limassol also holds the potential for Singh to secure regular playing time and possibly regain his position in the Bafana Bafana national team. Whether this latest transfer will provide Singh with the platform to excel on the European stage remains to be seen.
