Kaizer Chiefs top brass make their move for exciting young defender
Kaizer Chiefs have a good mix of youth and experience in their defensive ranks, but their latest target is one of the hottest properties in South Africa. Ime Okon has broken onto the scene for SuperSport United, quickly becoming a key pillar for Matsatsantsa at age 21. With Rushwin Dortley gradually returning to full fitness after knee surgery, Chiefs are looking to future-proof their back four. RUMOUR: Kaizer Chiefs lose out on R27 million man Recent reports linked Chiefs with a move for versatile 23-year-old Aphiwe Baliti. Now, outstanding central defender Ime Okon is the next name on their wish list. His contract with Matsatsantsa reportedly expires at the end of June 2025. Chiefs have reportedly ditched their interest in Bafana and Esperance winger Elias Mokwana. Instead, their eggs are all in the Oswin Appollis basket. 'If you were talking about Appollis, I could have agreed with you. It's also an open secret that Chiefs are interested in him. The negotiations are believed to also be at an advanced stage as there are a few logistics they are working on, but not Elias Mokwana,' an insider told Soccer Laduma.

Meanwhile, the club have proactively strengthened the full-back areas with a deal wrapped up for Baroka's Tshepho Mashiloane. All you need to know about Tshepho Mashiloane It's been long suggested that both full-back positions are arguably the biggest relative weaknesses in the Orlando Pirates squad. Incoming business is expected in those areas, but first, the Sea Robbers are getting rid of players not in their plans. Thabiso Monyane and Paseka Mako are heading out. One Bucs fan sounds happy that the club are getting rid of surplus players: In their search for a prolific wide man, Chiefs have reportedly reignited their interest in Polokwane and Bafana star Oswin Appollis.
