Kaizer Chiefs Football Manager Bobby Motaung was mum on the potential signing of Mduduzi Mdantsane, saying people must wait for an official announcement, but did reveal Amakhosi will “beef up” the squad for next season.
Chiefs have been heavily linked with the move for the Cape Town City all-time goal scorer, ho came close to signing for the club in January.
However, talks have been awash that Chiefs have signed Mdantsane in a three-year deal, with the move yet to be made public.
“We will make an announcement in the future,” Motaung replied to iDiski Times when asked about Mdantsane.
When pressed whether they have completed everything with Mdantsane, Motaung was unmoved in his response.
“We will make an announcement in the future. There are great things said to be revealed in future.”
It will be a reunion of note for Mdantsane as he was previously at Chiefs development structures in the past.
The other player that Chiefs have signed and did confirm in January is SuperSport United and Botswana defender Thatayaone Ditlhokwe, while they are also understood to have captured the signature of TS Galaxy captain and defender Given Msimango.
While Motaung was tight-lipped on Mdantsane’s impending arrival, he said Chiefs will go big in the market to support coach Arthur Zwane as they have multiple choices of playing in the CAF club competition next season.
Chiefs reached the semi-finals of the Nedbank Cup after overcoming Royal AM 2-1 in extra-time at Chatsworth Stadium on Sunday. They will now meet Orlando Pirates in the Ke Yona Cup last four next month.
Lying fourth in the DStv Premiership standings, they are also chasing the second spot, which is occupied by Pirates and will secure qualification for the CAF Champions League.
The other route will be to finish third spot or win the Nedbank Cup, which would see them participate in the Confederation Cup.

“Obviously, we will always assemble the squad,” said Motaung.
“Obviously this season, as you can see, the team has been revamped and has a lot of youngsters, but we are beefing up the squad for next season.”
