Ghanaian international Sulley Muntari has said he would love to play for Kaizer Chiefs as he seek a move to the South Africa Premier Soccer League.
Muntari has been heavily linked to a move to South Africa with teams like Orlando Pirates, Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs reportedly showing interest.
But the 38-year old midfielder has revealed that, he has been following Kaizer Chiefs for awhile and would love to join them if possible.

“I spoke to an agent. He gave me a call. I have forgotten his name. Sipho…I don’t know how to pronounce his name,” Muntari told Marawa Sports Worldwide on Metro FM.
“I would love to come and play in South Africa because they have great teams that I like. For instance, Sundowns are there, Pirates are there but my favourite one are Chiefs.
“I don’t know why but I have been following Chiefs for a moment now, I love the way they are and everything.

“So I said if I am going to South Africa, there is the only team I want to play for, that is Chiefs.
“And with all due respect to Pirates and Sundowns and the other teams that are in the South African league, of course, this is what I prefer, so that’s the only plan, that’s what I spoke [about] with the agent.
“That’s it and I haven’t said anything more. But why not? It’s home, Ghana is home, South Africa can be home, any part in Africa can be home. It would be good to come [to South Africa] but I haven’t made my mind as yet.”
Sulley Muntari has been unattached after leaving Spanish lower tier side Albecete in 2019.
