Tinkler gives update on Chiefs-linked Makgalwa
'If a club wants Keletso and makes the right offer, the club will not stand in his way,' said the Sekhukhune head coach. Sekhukhune head coach Eric Tinkler says the club are prepared to let winger Keletso Makgalwa leave – but only at the right price.

Tinkler – 'Keletso has a job to do' The former Sundowns player scored 6 goals and provided 11 assists in 32 appearances for Babina Noko last season. Kaizer Chiefs have been linked with a move for Makgalwa but according to Tinkler, the club have yet to receive an acceptable offer from any team. 'Keletso has a job to do at Sekhukhune,' said Tinkler on Tuesday at the launch of the new Betway Premiership season in Sandton. 'Whether there was an offer or not it doesn't meant the criteria that the club wants. He is a professional footballer and he needs to move on now. 'I explained to Keletso – he had the top assists in the league last season. Now if he wants people to be serious he must do it again. 'If a club wants Keletso and makes the right offer, the club will not stand in his way. But if it is not beneficial to the club, why should the club release the player? It doesn't make sense.' A fine start Makgalwa already has one assist for Sekhukhune in the new campaign, Bradley Grobler heading home his corner in the 3-2 MTN8 quarterfinal win against TS Galaxy last weekend.

Kaizer Chiefs target wanted in Africa
Kaizer Chiefs are expected to welcome a couple of new wingers to Naturena next season. Keletso Makgalwa might not be on that list. A source has told a local outlet that the 28-year-old winger has been noticed in North Africa. 'What I can tell you at this point is that it's a team from North Africa. There are some talks and logistics that are still going on concerning the enquiry from the club and it is not the right time to divulge more information now. The source added on Soccer Laduma : 'But I promise you the interest is there and the move of Elias Mokwana has attracted more teams from North Africa to look at South Africa, and Keletso is the latest target. What about Kaizer Chiefs? 'There were different clubs which showed interest in Keletso locally and nothing happened,' the insder revealed. 'The one I know that really wanted him is believed to be Kaizer Chiefs. But at the moment the North African club is in the forefront that seems to be moving in faster on him,' he concluded.
