Today’s Kaizer Chiefs transfer wrap involved players at different stages of their careers. The talk of a move for Asanele Velebayi intensifies.
22-year-old Velebayi can move to a club of his choosing this winter.
He isn’t the only Cape Town Spurs player that Chiefs are targeting.
Kaizer Chiefs plan double swoop of Cape Town Spurs
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.
FOUR Chiefs players with uncertain futures
Phete would add vital experience in the middle of the park
31-year-old Thibang ‘Cafu’ Phete is a versatile operator who can play as the hard man in midfield or in defence. Phete has dropped a strong hint that he’s ready to return home. Local outlet FARPost believe Sekhukhune are favourites to sign a man whose extensive experience includes stints in Portugal and the UAE. He has four caps for South Africa.

Would all three of these players add value, Amakhosi?
