In case you missed any of them, we’ve got a Kaizer Chiefs transfer wrap with four players in the door at Naturena.
Kaizer Chiefs confirmed arrivals
Khanyisa Mayo has signed permanently from CR Belouizdad for a reported fee close to R9.8 million following a prior loan spell. Adolf Mtasingwa is a 27-year-old defensive midfielder signed from Azam FC for an undisclosed fee, and the first Tanzanian player to join Amakhosi. Central defender Thabo Moloisane brings PSL know-how after his spell with Stellenbosch, and goalkeeper Renaldo Leaner joins from Sekhukhune to bolster Chiefs’ options between the sticks. Moloisane and Leaner both arrive on free transfers.
Supporters are divided on the Mtasingwa signing
In the comments sections on Facebook, there have been some scathing responses to the acquisition of Adolf Mtasingwa. Several supporters feel as though he’s not of the calibre required by the club. Meanwhile, Kabelo Nkgwesa was given a run-out in Chiefs’ first friendly match of the tour. That was a 1-1 draw against Scottish giants Rangers. After getting a taste of first-team football, the 19-year-old left-back, nicknamed ‘Festival’, wants more.
Lilepo is leaving, to the dismay of Chiefs fans
Glody Lilepo is another player who could be heading out the door. The Congolese wide attacker bagged five goals and four assists in 27 league outings last term. Impressively, he operated almost exclusively in a wide attacking role. According to local reports, Stellenbosch winger Langelihle Phili remains near the top of Chiefs’ transfer wish list to replace Lilepo. Phili got seven goals in 27 league outings last term. Could Ashley du Preez be used as a makeweight?
