Zamalek sniff around Kaizer Chiefs most valuable centre back, as transfer window approaches. Zamalek are said to be after th services of Kaizer Chiefs centre back Njabulo Ngcobo.
Njabulo Ngcobo who is valued at R15M by the club is in his final season with the club, and so far there’s no clarity if he will stay or not.
In February when Njabulo Ngcobo was interviewed by Timeslive, he revealed that he does not regret joining Kaizer Chiefs.
Kaizer Chiefs defender Njabulo Ngcobo admits things have not turned out the way he had hoped since joining Kaizer Chiefs, but the once highly rated centreback has no regrets about the move.
Ngcobo joined Chiefs before the 2021-2022 season after an impressive previous campaign with Moroka Swallows where the 29-year-old was crowned DStv Premiership defender of the season.
His career has regressed as he failed to replicate that form at Chiefs over the past two-and-half seasons. The defender has struggled to establish himself as a regular at the Soweto giants and has featured in only 10 matches in all competitions this campaign.
“Yes, things have not turned out the way I would’ve wanted, but for me to play for a big team like Kaizer Chiefs, it’s about learning every day,” Ngcobo said.
“You have to learn a lot of things step by step, but now I’m starting to get the direction.
“I will [now] be able to return to the player I was when I played for Swallows.
“Chiefs is a big club, so there’s always pressure when you play for them, but we try everything to stay composed.
“The club also helps us with how to deal with this pressure while we continue to work hard. I’m sure that soon I will hit top gear in form.”
Ngcobo, from Folweni, south of Durban, said he does not regret the move to Chiefs.
“I believe joining Chiefs was the right decision and I don’t have regrets. I feel I’m in the right team to grow as a player.
“As a boy from a village area, it took me a long time to get to where I am and I believe that soon I will be back to my best.”
Ngcobo said Amakhosi are working hard before the resumption of the DStv Premiership after the break for the Africa Cup of Nations.
