Kaizer Chiefs and Leeds United legend Lucas Radebe’s son Kutlwano Radebe is trending amid his trial with Spanish outfit Real Sporting de Gijon.
KAIZER CHIEFS LEGEND LUCAS RADEBE’S SON JOINS GIJON?
Last week, the publication exclusively revealed that Lucas Radebe’s son had travelled to Spain for trials, but the club was unknown then.
However, Real Sporting de Gijon has been assessing the grade 8 star, and he has been trending after he shared a photo that left many convinced that the club signed him.

He shared a photo with two club officials and held the famous red and white Gijon jersey with his name and number.
However, little is known if it was the jersey he used during his trials or if the club has since signed the talented star to a contract.
Against the now-viral photos, the star and club have yet to address the reports that have since set social media abuzz.
The news of trials first made headlines earlier this month when his school, Trinity House High School, revealed in a Facebook post that he was scheduled for trials this January.
The school posted, “A huge congratulations to Kutlwano Radebe, a Grade 8 student at Trinityhouse Centurion High School, who has been scouted to attend international trials in Spain this January!
“Playing for the CFA Football U15 first team, Kutlwano is now taking his soccer career to the next level. We are so proud of this incredible achievement and can’t wait to see what the future holds.”
However, a few days after the post, Kaizer Chiefs legend Lucas Radebe’s son Primo Baloyi took to Instagram to celebrate his brother’s big win.
A FOOTBALL FAMILY
After all, the star comes from a family with great football history. The former Kaizer Chiefs legend’s sons have all proved to be ballers and have the talent to show for it.
Lucas Radebe’s older son Primo Baloyi once made headlines with his flair. However, his blooming career was cut short because of injuries.
Primo Baloyi has often spoken about his passion for football and his decision to retire from the game at a young age.
“I retired [from soccer] four years ago when I was 25, [and] my dad suggested that I take up coaching. I decided to coach a young squad of kids,” said Primo Baloyi in one of the interviews.
Despite hanging his boots and switching the floor to comedy, the star is said to be still involved in football across other verticals.
Reports have it that Lucas Radebe’s son doubles as a football agent, a scout, and a talent developer. He seemingly confirmed the rumours in one of his interviews.
