Kaizer Chiefs transfer news: Tanzanian striker
Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs are linked with another player. Is Denis Kibu the next Amakhosi attacker?
According to local reports, the 26-year-old winger has captured Kaizer Chiefs' attention after four goals in the CAF Confederation Cup.
'Kaizer Chiefs are monitoring Denis Kibu, who is currently playing for Simba SC. They are not the only club interested – Stellenbosch is also keeping an eye on him,' a source told Soccer Laduma .
In the meantime, Kaizer Chiefs are expected to finally capture Asanele Velebayi. The 21-year-old winger is available as a free agent after Cape Town Spurs were relegated from the Motsepe Foundation Championship on Sunday.
Staying with wingers for Amakhosi, there's a new exciting update on Oswin Appollis.

Odds on Mike: Bulls to win a close one at Loftus, Leinster to beat Glasgow in URC semi-finals
And then there were four. Nearly six months of URC action brought us to last week's pulsating quarter-finals, and now it is down to Leinster versus Glasgow and the Bulls versus the Sharks. With the home side likely to get front-foot ball, the Bulls backs should do the rest on the scoreboard. But I'm not predicting a high-scoring affair. The Sharks have a knack for pulling expansive teams down into the trenches for an arm wrestle. The challenge for the Sharks became a whole lot tougher when they lost their all-Springbok second row of Eben Etzebeth and Jason Jenkins to injury. Etzebeth is the best lock in the world and Jenkins has been playing the quality of rugby that earned him Springbok colours. The Sharks' pack was always going to be under pressure from their in-form Bulls counterpart and with a makeshift second row, it is going to be a big ask for the visitors to gain parity up front. Betting angle The bookies have the Bulls as strong favourites. To back them simply as winners will mean that for every R100 you put down, you will get R28 back at Hollywoodbets. And if you fancy the Sharks to pull off an upset, R100 will get you a R280 reward. The wise bet is to back the Bulls, but rather on the handicap than just on the scoreboard. I like the minus-7.5 handicap, which means the Bulls must win by at least 7.5 points for the bet to pay out. In this case, R100 will win you R90 plus your stake back. Alternatively, you can take the Sharks on the plus handicap. I think a tasty option is the plus-11.5 handicap. This means the Sharks won't lose by more than 11.5 points. I think this will happen. Finals are close-scoring affairs. R100 will win you R50. Leinster v Glasgow in Dublin, 3.45pm Much has been said about Leinster being chokers and an aging team because of their recent history of losing big games. I'm not so sure this Leinster team is over the hill just yet, and the recent losses will have rid them of the complacency which I think has been their problem. A correctly-focused, hungry Leinster team should win at a packed Aviva Stadium. That said, the Warriors shocked Pretoria last year when they beat the Bulls in the URC final. They are a champion team and well-coached by South African Franco Smith. They were exceptional in their quarter-final demolition of the Stormers in the quarter-finals. Betting angle Glasgow are massive underdogs and R100 on them to win will net you R580. The same amount on Leinster will win you a paltry R12. So that is not worth it. I reckon the home team will win, but by how much? The handicap is the way to go in this game and a good option is the minus 13.5 handicap. For that to pay out, Leinster need to win by more than 13.5. That is basically two converted tries. R100 will reward you with an R85 profit.

Kaizer Chiefs to axe winger before Holland tour
Kaizer Chiefs will attempt to loan out one of their fringe wingers as he continues to struggle for game time with the Naturena giants. 31-year-old left-footed winger Tebogo Potsane is on the way out of Naturena. The Blom-born star has battled for regular minutes since a move from Royal AM in July 2023. He's only got 19 appearances in that time, with three assists. Here's an update via SoccerLaduma: 'For now, they have been looking at which players to release, and there is a list for those. But for Potsane, it is expected to be a loan move. They still think there is something in him, but things haven't been going well with him, so they believe a loan move could reignite the talent in him with more game time,' the source told Soccer Laduma. 'There are several factors the club is looking at to give a chance to Tebogo Potsane. They are finalising the squad which they are expected to take to Holland, and with new signings expected, they will release some and loan out some, and Potsane is on that list for now,' a source stated. Meanwhile, Orlando Pirates right-back Thabiso Monyane could be on his way to Kaizer Chiefs. It's not the most far-fetched rumour we've ever heard. Pirates already have several players in that position. RUMOUR: Pirates star Monyane to Chiefs? Let us know by leaving a comment below or sending a WhatsApp to 060 011 0211.
