Former Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns striker Kermit Erasmus is closing in on a move to Chippa United.
Erasmus,34, has been a free agent since leaving Pirates before the beginning of the current season.
He was close to joining Motsepe Foundation Championship side Cape Town Spurs, but they couldn’t agree on what he was offered even though he spent a week training with them.
Since then, he has been training by himself to remain fit in case something comes up.
This publication has since established that Erasmus has been training with the Chilli Boys and was with them before they faced Kaizer Chiefs as they narrowly lost 1-0.
There are already talks between Erasmus’ camp and Chippa as they aim to boost their striking department with experience.

With Kwanele Kopo stepping down as the head coach, it remains unclear if that will have an impact on the talks, with United set to return to training on 3 January 2025 and will hope that the deal with Erasmus is sealed by then.
The Eastern Cape-based side currently sits ninth in the league table with 14 points after 11 matches.
Their next league game will be against Royal AM on 11 January 2025 in Gqeberha.
