Kaizer Chiefs could be landing two priority signings for next to nothing as the Betway Premiership season is finally underway.
Long-standing Kaizer Chiefs target Asanele Velebayi will move for free this winter after Cape Town Spurs’ relegation to the National First Division.
Chiefs are ready to pounce.

Christmas comes early for Kaizer Chiefs?
Chiefs are potentially getting Velebayi on a free transfer and promising 19-year-old striker Luke Baartman for a snip, possibly as little as R3 million. What a deal! Velebayi made 23 appearances in the 2023-2024 Betway Premiership season. Striker Baartman made nine league appearances in the same season, scoring twice. Baartman has a massive ceiling and wouldn’t represent an enormous financial risk in terms of outlay.
