Puso Dithejane leaves TS Galaxy for MLS side Chicago Fire and becomes teammate to Bafana Bafana defender Mbekezeli Mbokazi

Puso Dithejane has signed for Chicago Fire in the USA.

The TS Galaxy midfielder joins fellow South African in former Orlando Pirates defender Mbekezeli Mbokazi at the MLS side.

His move to Chicago Fire was announced today after so much speculation that both Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns are interested in his services.

“We’ve been scouting him for a while, and he’s of the most highly regarded talents in South Africa right now," Fire Director of Football and Head Coach Gregg Berhalter told MIR97 Media.

"We saw an opportunity and we went for it. He’s a very dynamic winger, he can change the game. He's a young player who needs development, but really great attitude on the pitch, really good speed and one-on-one ability.

"He has a lot of attributes that make him an exciting winger, and that’s what we wanted to add," the coach added.

"We think we have a really good attack, and we wanted to bolster that. We know out schedule is packed next year, we need alternatives, and we think now with, Jo Bamba, Phil (Zinckernagel), Maren (Haile-Selassie), Chris Mueller, and Puso now, we have a really good winger group."
