 Bloemfontein Celtic defender, Eric Mathoho is one property that keeps lot of soccer fanatics captivated up to so far. So many deals came, sealed and dusted.

Eric Mathoho, who is believed to have signed with Kaizer Chiefs is now given a new twist to his deal. Bloemfontein Celtic CEO, Khumbulani Konco told othe local magazine that Mathoho is still Celtic player and on top of that Mamelodi Sundowns is also in the race to sign the player.

“Sundowns are also still in the picture, so don’t rule out Sundowns … look, the only reason there is a delay is that Celtic are still looking for a replacement for Mathoho. If we get someone that we are comfortable enough that he is a suitable replacement for Mathoho, then the boy will go but before that, no. 
 
“If we get a replacement today, we will sell the boy today but if we get a replacement in a year’s time then we will sign the agreement to sell Mathoho in a year,” Konco adds.

Sundowns signed Edward Mangele yesterday, grabbing him under Chiefs nose. We previously reported that Mathoho signed with Chiefs.

And according the information we received from our high ranking mole at Kaizer Chiefs, we very adamant that Mathoho is a Chiefs player.

Whether is any truth to that, only time will tell!!!
