'Lionel Messi to PSG not even biggest signing of day' - Chesterfield fans in dreamland after Kabongo Tshimanga joins from Boreham Wood

Kabongo Tshimanga is a Spireite. Your eyes are not playing tricks on you.

The 24-year-old, who had attracted interest from Football League clubs, has signed a three-year contract at Town.

Chesterfield fans have been reacting with pure joy, total surprise and everything in-between.

Some even joked that Lionel Messi’s move to PSG had been trumped by Tshimanga’s switch to the Technique!

Here’s what supporters have been saying on Twitter...

@benaramsdale: “Asante, Danny Rowe & Tshimanga is an absolutely ludicrous strike force at National League level. What a force Chesterfield are going to be.”

@ojmooney: “Genuinely so excited for this season. Unbelievable strike force and great additions in all areas of the pitch. Real ambition from the board to back Rowe in the way they have done. Now get me back in that ground!!”

@SpireiteGazette: “I can’t believe it. That is easily signing of the season on a National League level. Kabango alongside Rowe is a deadly strike force and that’s without Denton and Asante. Massive shout to the Trust and those at the top of the club for showing ambition and backing.”

@Spireiteswrite: “Last time I saw a reaction like this to a signing. We signed Sam Clucas.”

@_TJStone: “Looks like Messi to PSG won’t be the biggest signing of the day.”

@SpireiteLauren: “Oh my god. As if I wasn't excited enough about this season!!!!!”

@JackoThecrooks: “Oh how different a year makes. We’ve got our club back!”

@JoeMattison_: “Us and Stockport have to be favourites for the title now surely?”

@lukef3ather: “There is a 0% chance Town finish lower than 1st.”

@JonesyLad1996: “Oh my days what a statement signing that is.”
