Today’s Kaizer Chiefs rumour wrap looks at potential incoming and outgoings as the Glamour Boys aim to get closer to being a title-challenging outfit.
Mihlali Mayambela has hinted that he could be ready to return to South Africa.
Full-backs Paseka Mako and Thabiso Monyane are both available after being released by Orlando Pirates.
Mayambela to return to Kaizer Chiefs?
According to iDiski Times, Mihlali Mayambela is itching for a move back to South Africa. The 28-year-old brother of former Orlando Pirates playmaker Mark Mayambela has spent the last nine-and-a-half years in Europe, enjoying stints in Sweden, Portugal and Cyprus. He also has 16 caps for South Africa. This season, Mayambela has four goals and five assists from 23 appearances in the Cypriot top flight.
Kaizer Chiefs ditch Mokwana, reignite interest in old target
Monyane to Chiefs?
SAFootClassics on X have shared a local report from SuperJourno suggesting that Orlando Pirates right-back Thabiso Monyane has been offered to Kaizer Chiefs. It’s not the most far-fetched rumour we’ve ever heard. Pirates already have several players in that position, with Deano van Rooyen and Bandile Shandu currently vying for the role. Monyane and his namesake Thabiso Lebitso have hardly had a look-in. Chiefs are also in advanced talks with Paseka Mako.
Ime Okon is the latest defensive target
Ime Okon has broken onto the scene for SuperSport United, quickly becoming a key pillar for Matsatsantsa at age 21.
