Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates are set to reignite their transfer rivalry at the end of the season.
Both clubs were already competing for various targets during the January transfer window, and these battles are expected to continue.
Chiefs and Pirates Competing for Key Transfers
There were expectations that Pirates would finalize deals for Polokwane City’s Oswin Appollis and Thabang Matuludi in January, but those moves fell through. These two players were also reportedly on Chiefs’ radar, with Amakhosi believed to have made an offer for Appollis, which was rejected. Additionally, both clubs are keen on Stellenbosch FC’s left-back, Fawaaz Basadien, who is expected to make a move in the upcoming transfer window.
Muzomuhle Khanyi: The Latest Transfer Target
Now, the latest player to spark interest from both teams is striker Muzomuhle Khanyi of Hungry Lions. Khanyi has been in stellar form, scoring 14 goals in 17 appearances in the Motsepe Foundation Championship. The young striker has long been linked with Pirates, who have been monitoring his progress for two transfer windows. However, according to Soccer Laduma, Chiefs have now also entered the race, intensifying the competition for Khanyi’s signature.
Chiefs Enter the Transfer Battle
Sources suggest that Chiefs have made inquiries about Khanyi, and it looks likely that the player will leave Hungry Lions at the end of the season. With Pirates keeping a close watch on him for a while, Chiefs’ entry into the mix could create a fierce battle between the two Soweto giants.
