The man managing the football affairs of Etiosa Ighodaro has commented on the reports linking the Nigerian striker with a move to Kaizer Chiefs, with a curious video surfacing on the weekend.
Images of Ighodaro spotting Chiefs colours spread like wildfire on social media on Sunday.

He has been linked with a move to Naturena following a successful spell with AmaZulu FC last season.
The 23-year-old spent 2024/25 on loan at Usuthu from Mamelodi Sundowns and proved a key member for the side as they finished inside the Top Eight.
Ighadaro’s future with the Tshwane giants remains uncertain, with local reports suggesting his contract there has expired and the burly marksman is now seeking a fresh start elsewhere.
He was linked with a move to Saudi Arabia last season before making the switch to the Durban-based outfit.
His agent, Mohammed Lawal, has confirmed Ighodaro will be arriving back in the country on Tuesday, but declined to talk about the player’s future in football.
“I saw the photo on social media. It's a photoshop. There is nothing,” said Lawal when asked about Ighodaro and Chiefs.

“He is currently away. He is coming back in the country on Tuesday. For now, I can't talk about his future in football. If there is something, I will let you know,” he added rather sternly.
The centre-forward has played for several teams in the PSL, including University of Pretoria, SuperSport United, and Chippa United.
