In a rather surprise turn of events, Kaizer Chiefs FC are reportedly interested in signing a player they previously released.
The Glamour Boys have been stuck in a cycle of hiring and firing over the past few seasons.
In fact, five players have already been released by the club over the last month, with a host of new arrivals looming.

According to the latest transfer gossip, Kaizer Chiefs are keen luring a former player back to the club.
Academy graduate Lebohang Lesako’s form at Motsepe Foundation Championship side Casric Stars has caught the eye of Chiefs’ scouts.
Lesako came through the ranks at Naturena and was promoted to the first team in 2019. He made just six first team appearances for the club before being loaned out to Swallows and Uthongathi consecutively.
Finally, in 2023 he was officially released by the club and signed by Casric Stars on a permanent basis.
Now, two years later, Kaizer Chiefs want to sign their former player back!
“Some Kaizer Chiefs scouts and recruiters have been following his progress. They know him already as he is their former player and they are happy on how he has progressed from where he was before to where he is this season” an insider told Soccer Laduma.
“He has shown growth both as a player and as a person and that’s what makes them happy with his progress. They are believed to have enquired about him as they have shown interest in him.”
