Kaizer Chiefs had reportedly been interested in 22-year-old Nigerian midfielder Clement Ikenna, aiming to strengthen their squad.
However, the PSL Club missed out after Al-Ittihad, a club from Libya, signed Ikenna on a two-year deal. The Nigerian midfielder has been recognized for his talent and potential, making him a highly sought-after player in African football.
