Sekhukhune United striker Victor Letsoalo has explained why he could not sign for Kaizer Chiefs during the current transfer window.

Several reports suggested the Bafana Bafana striker was headed to Naturena from Royal AM but the player ended up settling for Sekhukhune.

After scoring 15 Premier Soccer League goals last season, Letsoalo appeared to be a perfect fit for Chiefs who have been rebuilding their squad under coach Arthur Zwane.

“It was just a transfer and my agent told me that Sekhukhune are interested, and looking at the rumours going on we decided to join them because they showed more interest,” said Letsoalo as per Sowetan Live.

“We just chose them because there is a lot of excitement that is going to come out from the team.

“There was interest from Chiefs but they ended up in the air. I am a Sekhukhune player now and I’m excited to be here. Sekhukhune is also a big brand.”

Chiefs have so far signed Ashley du Preez as the only striker but Zwane has indicated they are still in the market for another forward.

While Amakhosi have lost out on Letsoalo, the former Bloemfontein Celtic forward is sure there are high expectations on him after coming up as the Golden Boot runners-up last season.
