Kaizer Chiefs - 10 players linked: Who they are are likely to sign
Kaizer Chiefs have been linked with 10 red-hot players. This is who they likely to sign. Kaizer Chiefs have been one of the busiest teams in the PSL transfer window. So far, they have completed 18 deals with 10 new faces and EIGHT departures confirmed. However, more big moves are lined up with these FIVE deals expected to take place at Chiefs before the end of the transfer window. Let's take a look at who they likely to sign Stanley Nwabali Feisel Salum Luke Baartman Asanele Velebayi Lebogang Phiri Percy Tau Fiston Mayele Zakhele Lepasa Dzenan Zajmovic Etiosa Ighodaro First things first, talks have gone quite for Chiefs-linked platers Salum and Phiri. Meanwhile, despite rumours, Amakhosi have shown no interest in Tau or Lepasa. So, it is merely that – just rumours. Furthermore, Mayele's brother confirmed that he will not be joining Chiefs or any other side in the PSL. Therefore, the aformentioned players are unlikely to join Chiefs. However, they are reportedly closing in on the signatures of Baartman and Velebayi. Both players have agreed to personal terms with Chiefs. Now, it is a case of receiving legal clearance from Cape Town Spurs to join Amakhosi. Furthermore, Chiefs have expressed interest in Outbound Sundowns striker, Ighodara. He is currently training alone as he contemplates his next move. Also, Chiefs have a golden chance to sign Nwabali with Chippa open to letting him go. Finally, Nasreddine Nabi is willing to sign Zajmovic from TS Galaxy. Let us know by leaving a comment below or sending a WhatsApp to 060 011 0211.

Kaizer Chiefs have reportedly already completed these deals from Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana. Kaizer Chiefs squad revamp is well underway and with it comes highs (new signings) and lows (exits). The excitement of new signings is rife following the commencement of the 2024/25 PSL season. So, Chiefs have reportedly already made a couple of signings from Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana. Chiefs have reportedly secured the signings of Paseka Mako and Thabiso Monyane. Reports claim that Mako agreed to join Amakhosi after they won the Nedbank Cup final 'Pirates were keen to extend his stay at the club but believed (he had) already agreed terms with Kaizer Chiefs after the Nedbank Cup final in Durban,' the insider stated on KickOff. So, despite the Bucs trying to keep him at Mayfair, he still left. 'Pirates did everything to keep Mako, but the player had already made up his mind,' 'There were even bigger plans to keep Mako beyond his playing days at Pirates, but the player had already made up his mind to go to Kaizer Chiefs,' he continued. Meanwhile, further reports from SABCSport claim that Monyane has already agreed to join Chiefs. 'Former Orlando Pirates wing-back Thabiso Monyane is set to join Kaizer Chiefs after the expiry of his contract. Monyane, 25, is embarking on a new journey of his career, leaving the club where he was raised from the development structures, towards a new challenge at their Soweto rivals. SABC Sport broke the news last week that Amakhosi had been offered the chance to sign the player, and this website has it on good authority, a deal has been reached between the two parties,' the publication reported. Mark Mayambela, brother of Chiefs-linked, Mihlali Mayambela has dropped a cypric hint to drive Amakhosi fans crazy. Following the Bafana Bafana stars links to Chiefs, his brother posted an image on X of Mayambela in Chiefs colours with an emoji. Thus, sparking speculation over his move to Chiefs.

Bafana's Broos content despite Tanzania draw
'It was a totally new team, with players who hadn't played together except for the same team (club),' said the Bafana head coach. Hugo Broos was happy with what he saw in Bafana's goallessdraw with Tanzania on Friday. Picture: Alche Greeff/BackpagePix Hugo Broos was satisfied with the performance of his new-look Bafana Bafana side, even though they could only manage at goalless draw at home to Tanzania in an international friendly at the Peter Mokaba Stadium. ALSO READ: Tepid Bafana held by Tanzania The Bafana head coach gave several players their senior international debuts in the match, as Bafana defended well, but failed to create much against a well-organised Taifa Stars. Bafana's Broos – 'About eight jerseys' 'After every game we give a jersey to each player getting his first cap,' said Broos. 'I think today we gave out about eight jerseys. It was a totally new team, with players who hadn't played together except for the same team (club). 'So it was not easy, and that is why I said before the game that the result was not important. We wanted to win, and we could have, we had chances. But the performance was more important. And I am happy with what I saw today.' Of the Bafana players who started Friday's match, goalkeeper Ricardo Goss, captain Fawaaz Basadien, Pirates duo Thalente Mbatha and Patrick Maswanganyi and forward Oswin Appollis could be considered regulars in the Bafana squad. 'The defence, without Basadien, all the rest was new,' added Broos. 'Even Ricardo (Goss), he is always with us but it is always Ronwen (Williams) who is playing. In the midfielder (Simphiwe) Selepe was now, up front (Tshepang) Moremi was new, (Ashley) Cupido was new. What can I ask more than the performance we put up tonight? It was very positive for me and I hope to see the same thing on Tuesday and that we win. 'A better feeling' 'It is a better feeling when you win.'

Kaizer Chiefs set to miss out on Feisal Salum as Simba close in
Kaizer Chiefs set to lose out on another target, as an African giant has swooped in and is getting closer to sealing the deal. We have it on good authority that Azam FC midfielder Feisal Salum was one of Amakhosi's top targets for as long as we can remember. About a month ago we learnt that Salum would be available as the Tanzanian club are looking to cash in on a potential deal. Bearing in mind that Salum is contracted to the Dar es Salaam-based club until June 2026. Which means he still has a year left on his contract after this season closes. Salum, also known as Fei Toto, left Young Africans in 2023 and signed a three year deal with his current club. What we also know is that his ex-coach and current Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi, whom he worked with at Yanga is keen to reunite. But it looks like that will not happen as Simba SC are closing in on one of the most talented African players. 'We expect Feisal to deliver results because we are paying him a lot of money. However, if he decides to leave, that will be his choice. We are not stopping him from leaving,' Azam FC said, as quoted by FARPost . Despite their openness to a potential departure, Azam FC clarified that they have no immediate plans to release the player. 'We have no plans to let Feisal go. But if a team makes an offer that meets our expectations, we will not stand in his way.' Salum, the Tanzanian midfielder leads the assist charts in the NBC Tanzania Premier League with 13 assists, according to Tanzanian publication Diramakini. The Chiefs-linked star has been instrumental to Azam's strong league campaign this season. Let us know by leaving a comment below or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.
