Masilela Awaiting Work Permit

All that is required for the season long loan move of Tsepo Masilela to be officially completed is a medical and a work permit according to his agent.

Speaking to kickoff.com the 26 year olds agent, Mike Makaab revealed that everything was in order, and now it was just a case of waiting for the paperwork to tick through on a visa so a medical could be had.

“We are working on a UK Visa so Tsepo can go over for a medical. We extended his contract by a year to cater for the loan.’

The loan fee is suggested to be in the area of 400,000 Euros, and Leicester will have a permanent option should they wish come the end of the loan for a set fee.

Makaab adds that for the visa paperwork that ‘your guess is as good as mine’ in terms of when that will happen, but with a number of weeks left until the start of the season you’d be expecting Masilela to spend his fair share of time on the training pitch first so delays in that regard won’t cause any real issues you wouldn’t have thought.
