Sowetan has learnt that the lanky defender is keen to join Chiefs despite his employers preferring the offer from free-spending Sundowns.

"Tower (Mathoho) met the management of Celtic on Wednesday where he made it clear that his heart was in Naturena," said a source close to the player.

"He is convinced that he will get game time at Chiefs, as compared with Sundowns. Celtic want him to go to Sundowns because of the money factor. It goes without saying that Sundowns will pay more than Chiefs for the boy but Celtic are under pressure because his heart is at Naturena."

Celtic chief executive Khumbulani Konco confirmed that Pirates, Sundowns and Chiefs had approached them for the services of Mathoho.

"For the record, let me state that it is not our intention to sell Mathoho but Pirates, Chiefs and Sundowns want to buy him and have all approached us to this effect," Konco said.

"We are still waiting for them to come back to us with offers."

However, Pirates chairman Irvin Khoza has pulled out of the race.

While Sundowns could not be reached for comment, Chiefs general manager Bobby Motaung has already confirmed that he wanted to see Mathoho in Naturena next season.

Chiefs are also believed to be chasing Santos striker Erwin Isaacs.

I really thought Pirates will snatch this boy, u can imagine his combination with Sangweni, rock solid to say the least but it looks like our noisy neigbours are very much in for him. Good luck to which evre team would end up signing him, he is the real deal.

Proof that money isn't everything. At the level that you are playing at, salaries are already at record highs. Glad you are choosing a team for footballing reasons and not the money because at the end of the day, you are an athlete and the field of play is where we recognize you, not the type of car or house you live in.
