Kaizer Chiefs are preparing for the off-season with several transfer targets in mind, alongside promoting a promising young talent.
Chiefs to Compete for Moremi Amid Rival Interest
Kaizer Chiefs are set to make an official bid for Tshepang Moremi, the talented 24-year-old Bafana Bafana midfielder who has caught the attention of both Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns. Moremi has impressed this season with two goals and six assists in 20 league appearances. However, Chiefs face tough competition from Pirates and Sundowns, while AmaZulu is determined to hold on to their star player, possibly offering him a new deal to ward off offers from the PSLβs top clubs.
Chiefs Promote Young Talent Kabelo Nkgwesa
In other news, Chiefs have promoted 19-year-old Kabelo Nkgwesa, a versatile defender, to their first-team squad. With Happy Mashiane struggling at left-back and Bradley Cross being the only reliable option in that position, Nkgwesaβs promotion comes at a crucial time, especially with Edmilson Doveβs recent return from injury.
Basadien Eyes Gauteng ReturnβCould Chiefs Benefit?
Meanwhile, Fawaaz Basadien, the dependable left-back who moved from Swallows to Stellenbosch in 2022, is reportedly eager to return to Gauteng. Given his solid performances at Stellies, where he shares the left-back role, Chiefs could be in a strong position to make a move for the 28-year-old, particularly as Stellenbosch looks to cash in on the player with a 30% sell-on clause attached.
