As reported last week, Kaizer Chiefs got linked with another high-profile winger. It was Mihlali Mayambela, who plays for Aris Limassol and Bafana Bafana.
The report said the 28-year-old from Khayelitsha is setting his sights on returning to South Africa since moving to Europe as a teenager nine years ago.
According to iDiski Times’ Sinethemba Makonco, Mayambela is keen on playing for Kaizer Chiefs, a team he represented at under-15 level.

“Aris Limassol and Bafana Bafana winger Mihlali Mayambela is open to a PSL move with Kaizer Chiefs, who are believed to be his preferred team of choice,” the report said.
Before moving to Sweden’s Djurgården aged 18, Mayambela played professional football in the Motsepe Foundation Championship with Cape Town All Stars.
The former Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates development player became a journeyman abroad via countries like Portugal, Israel and Cyprus in the Middle East.
