Kaizer Chiefs target Bimenyimana Rayon Sport’s transfer stance decided |

The stance on Bonfils-Caleb Bimenyimana’s move to Rayon Sport this season has been decided by the Rwandan side. The decision still appears not to favour the South African giants who were trashed by title favourites Mamelodi Sundowns in the Premier Soccer League last weekend.

The Soweto giants are looking to fill the void left by the departures of centre-forwards Samir Nurkovic and Leonardo Castro in their squad. And Saturday’s heavy defeat to Sundowns has raised concern to speed up proceedings to find replacements for the voids with the Burundian International a major possible candidate.

Bimenyimana has been on Kaizer Chiefs’ wish-list for seasons now and the Glamour Boys emerged closer to securing the player’s signature ahead of the new season after Bimenyimana having Kaizer Chiefs trials last month.

The trial period has already ended with Bimenyimana leaving South Africa for Rwanda where he was seen at ‘Rayon Sport Day’ fueling speculations he keen on joining Rayon Sport.

Meanwhile, Rayon Sport have commented on Bonfils-Caleb Bimenyimana futre with them after the player was seen at the club’s event on Monday.

The Rwandan giants held the ‘Rayon Sport Day’ event where the club’s new signings were presented to the media and fans ahead of the 2022-23 season.

Reports around South Africa indicated that Bimenyimana had rejoined Rayon after deciding against returning to Chiefs where he underwent successful trials last month.

Rayon head coach Christian-Francis Haringingo, who also hails from Burundi, made it clear that the 24-year-old will not be joining the club.

“About Caleb, he won’t play in Rwanda,” Haringingo told the media.

The former Kiyovu Sports head coach also disclosed that Bimenyimana is currently assessing offers from outside Rwanda with SuperSport United United and an unnamed Israeli club having been linked with the tall player as well.

“I stay with him very often, he has not less than three offers, what’s left for him now is to decide where he will go,” Haringingo added.

“But for now I can tell you he will not play in Rwanda.”

Bimenyimana was on the books of Rayon between 2017 and 2019 and he played an important role in n helping the team clinch the 2018/19 Rwandan top-flight title.

He has been a free agent since January this year when he parted ways with Kazakhstani club Kaysar.
