Kaizer Chiefs news: Basadien, Saleng, Nabi drama, new signing

Kaizer Chiefs have an array of transfer news – some good, some questionable. Let’s start with the former.

According to reports, AmaKhosi have put pen to paper with Durban-born Ethan Chislett, who has amassed 242 games and 56 goal contributions in England’s top-flight leagues, playing for AFC Wimbledon and FC Port Vale.

Sour news

Now for the questionable. Orlando Pirates’ missing man Monnapule Saleng has reportedly signed a pre-contract with Kaizer Chiefs. However, early signs indicate this to be far from the truth, with neither of the three parties commenting.

Then there’s Stellebosch left-back Fawaaz Basadien, a player Nasreddine Nabi’s side have been desperate to sign since last offseason. It appears that this deal is unlikely to happen anytime soon.

“Yes, there are youngsters who have been promoted to the senior team and will be traveling with the team to the Netherlands but Aphiwe (Baliti) has more experience than them in the top flight and that’s why they are considering him as it is believed they (Chiefs) can’t get Fawaaz Basadien or Mohamed Hussein at the moment,” a source revealed.

Lastly, Kaizer Chiefs’ interest in Orlando Pirates duo Paseko Mako and Thabiso Monyane wasn’t in Nasreddine Nabi’s plans; however, the club have decided to pursue regardless.

“It’s believed that the coach was not part of interest in those two players. Apparently, the coach was looking at three right backs, in Richards Bay defender Lwandile Mabuya, Cape Town Spurs’ Lungelo Bhengu and Mhleli Mabuza who had trials at the club in May. And at left back the coach’s main interest was Fawaaz Basadien (Stellies) and Mohamed Hussein from Simba SC in Tanzania,” a source said.

“But apparently the scouts and management are believed to have liked Monyane and Mako. So, we will see what will happen in the pre-season whether the coach will still go for his targets or they will settle for the two former Orlando Pirates players.”

Who would be a good Basadien replacement for Kaizer Chiefs?
