Mochudi Centre Chiefs have closed a busy transfer window with the signing of Argentinian midfielder, Nahuel Nicolas Melgarejo who becomes the club's 18th signing since the off-season.

Melgarejo was signed from Al Bataeh FC in the United Arab Emirates. The Botswana Football League (BFL) transfer window closed last night with Chiefs emerging as the biggest buyers as they bid to win their first league title since 2015.
