Kaizer Chiefs have confirmed the exit of Kenya international midfielder Anthony Akumu Agay after barely two years.

“After initially putting him on the transfer list, Kaizer Chiefs and Anthony Akumu Agay have mutually agreed to an early termination of his contract,” Amakhosi confirmed on their official website.
“The contract was set to expire in June 2023. The Kenyan-born midfielder joined Chiefs in January 2020 from Zesco United in Zambia and netted twice in his 47 appearances in all competitions for Amakhosi.

Recently, GOAL revealed the Harambee Stars midfielder is a top transfer target for Tanzanian giants Simba SC.
Despite spending successful years with Zesco United in the Zambian Premier League between 2016 and 2020, Akumu – who at times played as a centre-back for the Glamour Boys – did not quite settle at Naturena.
“He [Akumu] is our top target,” a source at Simba told GOAL.
“He is an experienced midfielder, having made his name with Zesco United, and we hope we can have him or someone experienced and with title-winning credentials just like Akumu.

“We need to bring in players with ambition, players with the hunger and motivation to fight for Simba.”
