Kaizer Chiefs rumours: Five African stars
Kaizer Chiefs are chasing a quintet of exciting stars from the African continent. Who are they and what do they bring to the party?
Kingsley Michael is still only 25, but the Nigerian midfield orchestrator has already been around the block. His club career has seen him enjoy stints across Europe. First in Italy with Bologna, Perugia, Cremonese and Reggina. Then, spells with SV Ried and DSV Leoben in Austria. Now he's on the books of Monastir in Tunisia. Surprisingly, he's only earned one cap for Nigeria's Super Eagles.

Meanwhile, according to PanAfrica Football, Stephane Aziz Ki will be a Wydad player imminently. The 29-year-old Burkinabe star has been a standout performer for Tanzanian giants Young Africans. It's understood that Rulani Mokwena played a big role in convincing the talented goal-scoring midfielder to move to Morocco. As it happens, Mokwena will leave his post at the end of the season.

Goal hungry Kaizer Chiefs eye highly-rated Bafana Bafana star!
Kaizer Chiefs have reportedly reignited their interest in Bafana Bafana winger Elias Mokwana, a player they tried to sign before he opted for Esperance. The talented attacker has struggled to make the starting eleven this season but has been seen as a super-sub, amassing twenty-five league appearances, during which he has scored three goals and two assists. In the CAF Champions League, he recorded another five-goal contribution in eight games. Long-term target Fiston Mayele may be out of reach for Kaizer Chiefs, who will have recently heard of the player receiving bids upwards of R74 million. 'Mayele's career with Pyramids FC will end at the end of the current season. The player will leave after the Zamalek and Pyramids match in the Egypt Cup final.' 'Mayele has received incredible offers, offers exceeding $3 million (R55 million) and reaching $4 million (R74 million) per season. The player is receiving $1 million per season from Pyramids, but he completely refuses to continue.' 'Pyramids Club, in appreciation of the player and the fact that he is the top scorer in the African Champions League and was one of the reasons the team won the championship,' Egyptian publication Al-Masry Al-Youm revealed. Another striker on Kaizer Chiefs' radar is Mamelodi Sundowns man Mamelodi Sundows', Etiosa Ighodaro. 'Yes, it's true. Chiefs are believed to have enquired about Mamelodi Sundowns striker Etiosa Ighodaro,' a SoccerLaduma source revealed 'You know the thing is the same people who scouted him from Nigeria for Sundowns are the same who have enquired about him for Kaizer Chiefs.' 'Actually it's not the first time they have enquired about him. They tried before when he was on loan at Chippa United but Sundowns sent him on loan at SuperSport United. But now they are apparently looking at the possibility of Sundowns letting him go and they can pounce on him.' Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.

BREAKING: Kaizer Chiefs to have pre-season in the Netherlands
Kaizer Chiefs have announced their pre-season plans in preparation for the 2025-26 campaign. In a brief statement published on Thursday, Chiefs confirmed that they will travel to the Netherlands. According to Amakhosi, the entire team will be in the Netherlands between 3-19 July 2025. Last pre-season, Chiefs spent three weeks in Turkey where then new coach Nasreddine Nabi joined them. Nonetheless, their trip to Turkey somehow didn't help them as the team struggled for the better of the season, especially in the league. Kaizer Chiefs to have pre-season in the Netherlands.

Kaizer Chiefs are NOT signing ex-Orlando Pirates flop
Kaizer Chiefs will NOT be signing former Orlando Pirates flop Bienvenu Eva Nga, according to his agent Charles Domingo. Eva Nga was most recently on the books of Chippa United but his contract expires at the end of June. This past season, Eva Nga scored just thrice in 25 matches for Chippa United. At Pirates, the Cameroonian marksman scored just once in 17 competitive matches before returning to Chippa United. According to Domingo, Eva Nga is currently a free agent but both parties – the player and Chippa United are still locked in negotiations. Domingo told FARPost that while Eva Nga is currently a free agent, reports of him possibly joining Chiefs are not true. As previously reported by The South African, Chiefs have already parted ways with striker Ranga Chivaviro. Kaizer Chiefs release Ranga Chivaviro. Image: Kaizer Chiefs website 'Eva is not going to Chiefs,' said Domingos. 'His contract is ending; we have not renewed with Chippa. So, basically, he's a free agent as we're speaking,' Domingos added. 'We're still in talks with Chippa, but we haven't agreed to anything. So, the player is a free agent for now.'
