Kaizer Chiefs chasing THREE attackers from outside South Africa
Kaizer Chiefs are keen to add more firepower to their front line. Here are three names from the African content that they're chasing.
Meanwhile, 26-year-old Simba SC attacker Kibu Denis has scored four goals in 12 games in the 2024/2025 CAF Confederations Cup. They face the Moroccan side, RS Berkane, in the final. Perhaps Kibu will put himself in the shop window? He's primarily a left-winger.
FIVE foreign stars linked with Amakhosi
26-year-old Ghanaian forward Jonathan Sowah plies his trade for Libyan side Al Nasr Benghazi. He's also got three caps for the Black Stars.
Congolese marksman Fiston Mayele broke Orlando Pirates hearts in the Champions League semi-final second leg with a decisive brace; he's got eight goals in 11 appearances in that competition this season. Throughout his career, he has scored 21 goals and supplied four assists from 35 in Africa's premier club competition. Fans would love this rumour to come to fruition.
Despite going behind early in the contest, Nabi's Kaizer Chiefs secured what might prove to be a massive point away to Sekhukhune in a 1-1 draw thanks to Glody Lilepo's equaliser deep into first-half stoppage time. It means the Glamour Boys can guarantee an MTN8 place with a win on the final day at home against Polokwane City. However, Polokwane sit two points above Chiefs, although their MTN8 place is already sealed.
When is Kaizer Chiefs vs Polokwane? MTN8 crunch time!
