Kaizer Chiefs

“In a dramatic turn of event, Valenciennes’ player of the month for December, Glody Lilepo, is being pushed towards the exit by his current club, who are eager to sell the Congolese midfielder to Kaizer Chiefs,” SoccerLaduma reported.

However, despite this offer he was initially reluctant to join the PSL.

“The French Ligue 2 club has a firm offer on the table worth €500 000 (+- R9.6 million), but Lilepo, despite the financial incentives, is reluctant to make the move to the PSL,” they added.

POSITIVE TURN OF EVENTS FOR AMAKHOSI

Thankfully, 24 hours later there has been a huge change.

Now, Lilepo is reportedly keen to join Chiefs having agreed to a deal on personal terms, according to SoccerLaduma.

Meaning, if Amakhosi management and Valenciennes can agree on terms, he will join Chiefs this January. Meanwhile, Amakhosi are in hot pursuit of several attackers.

For starters, Tashreeq Morris is set to undergo medicals this week. This, following a proposed swop deal from Gavin Hunt’s SuperSport United for Christian Saile. Moreover, Chiefs are still interested in signing Bafana Bafana attacker Oswin Appollis.

Kaizer Chiefs

Kaizer Chiefs are set to offload a duo for R20 million in order to make space to sign new players this transfer period.

Kaizer Chiefs are looking to release two of their players for around R20 million.

The players in question Mduduzi Mdantsane and Zitha Kwinika. The duo are yet to get gametime this season under Nasreddine Nabi but have caught the interest of PSL rival AmaZulu FC. According to reports, Amakhosi are looking to sell the duo for R20 million in order to make room for more signings.

So far, Amakhosi have signed Tashreeq Morris from SuperSport United with Christian Saile going the opposite direction.

Kaizer Chiefs to finally sell Mdantsane

“Mdu remains one of the top attacking midfielders in the league, and it’s just that he has been unfortunate with injuries. A change in environment is what he needs right now, and AmaZulu has shown an interest. In the coming weeks, we will see what will happen regarding the player’s future,” an informer told Soccer Laduma.

With the transfer window closing, it remains to be seen if Kaizer Chiefs will sign more players. On Sunday, the team narrowly got past Sekhukhune United.

“I hope they forgive us about the last game. They have to know that we need them when we are in a critical situation,” said Amakhosi assisitant coach Ben Youssef.

“More than when we are in a good situation. Always, they support us. They have to be sure that we are in the right direction.

“But we need just passion. We need to be passionate and to be sure that we are on the right side. That’s it.”

Kaizer Chiefs are next in action against Free Agents in the Nedbank Cup Round of 32 clash on Sunday.

Was Mdu given a fair chance?
