Nigerian midfielder to Kaizer Chiefs?
Kaizer Chiefs may have a new midfield star from the continent next season. ADVERTISEMENT KAIZER CHIEFS TO SIGN NIGERIAN MIDFIELDER? Looking at Amakhosi's current midfield, coach Nasreddine Nabi does not have enough options to compete with the likes of Yusuf Maart and Thabo Cele. According to Soccer Laduma, the 25-year-old US Monastir midfielder Kingsley Michael is on the radar of the Kaizer Chiefs. 'He is currently playing in Tunisia and there are scouts who have been monitoring him there and he has been doing very well,' a source told the outlet on Kaizer Chiefs' moves. 'That's why he is back on Chiefs' radar. They haven't finalised the shopping list for next season as they are still looking at the players which they can afford and get. Kingsley Michael is one of those they are considering. Meanwhile, the same publication has claimed that Kaizer Chiefs have increased the club's spending budget this coming winter. 'You know the budget went up? Yes, it's because they want to get almost all their targets this season and to do that they are willing to pay this time around. ADVERTISEMENT 'So you know Kingsley is playing in Tunisia and they will need good money to bring him to Naturena, and they are believed to be working on doing just that,' an additional insider said.

Orlando Pirates players who would be BENCHED at Kaizer Chiefs
Imagine a joint Orlando Pirates-Kaizer Chiefs starting XI. Orlando Pirates have more players in the national team with Kaizer Chiefs having little to no features in the national team in recent years. The Bucs reached the CAF Champions Cup semi-finals and they are currently second in the latest BetWay Premiership standings. Meanwhile, Amakhosi have not tasted continental football since the 2021-22 final againsr Pitso Mosimane's Al Ahly. Furthermore, they languish in eighth position in the PSL. MUST READ: KAIZER CHIEFS PLAYERS WHO WOULD BE BENCHED AT ORLANDO PIRATES So, based on recent form it comes as no surprise that Pirates dominate the Pirates-Chiefs starting XI. However, there is a small group of Chiefs players who could challenge for starting positions amongst this in-form crop of Bucs stars. Pirates would no doubt have the first-choice goalkeeper, Sipho Chaine. Meanwhile, they will definitely dominate the front-three with Relebohile Mofokeng, Tshegofatso Mabaso and Mohau Nkota or an in-form Monnapule Saleng would be more threatening in front of goal. However, it is in defence and the midfield that Chiefs have one or two worthy contenders to start in this theoretical starting XI. Rushwin Dortley is a Bafana Bafana star with a big future. Moroever, in the midified, Yusuf Maart offers himself as a worthy selection. Finally, Njabulo Blom in his prime is good enough to start at right-back. Maart would be joined by Patrick Maswanganyi and Thalente Mbatha. Meanwhile Mdu Shabalala and Gaston Sirino would cause Jose Riveiro one or two selection headaches based on glimpses of brilliance and promise. Both sides will meet for silverware when they contest the Nedbank Cup final on 10 May 2025. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.
