Kaizer Chiefs fans have seen the news Sundowns have released four players. They’re asking their club to sign at least one.
Sundowns release experienced quartet
Mamelodi Sundowns have released Bongani Zungu, Gaston Sirino, Brian Onyango and Thabiso Kutumela. Go look at the replies to the tweet below and you’ll see hordes of Kaizer Chiefs fans wanting their club to pick up either playmaker Sirino or midfield maestro Zungu.
MAOVA IS A POTENTIAL KHUNE REPLACEMENT, CHEAPER THAN NWABALI TOO
According to UnplayableZA on X, Chiefs have inquired about possibly signing Tuks ‘keeper Edward Maova. The 29-year-old Namibian made three appearances in last season’s Nedbank Cup and stands 1.92m tall. He’s only been with AmaTuks for 11 months after joining them from Pretoria Callies in 2023. Is he pedigreed enough to replace Itumeleng Khune? One thing is for sure, Maova won’t cost nearly as much as long-standing target Stanley Nwabali, who was valued at R30 million by Chippa. Maova will cost next to nothing.
LEFT-BACK REMAINS A PROBLEM FOR CHIEFS
If Chiefs can secure a deal for Maova, they’ll still be looking for a new left-back to replace Sifiso Hlanti. Fawaaz Basadien recently signed a new deal with Stellenbosch, but full-backs aren’t traditionally the most expensive puzzle pieces. The other obvious area needing strengthening is up top.
PERCY TAU IS AVAILABLE, BUT THERE’S A CATCH
According to KickOff.com, Egyptian side Al Ahly have placed a R36 million price tag on Bafana Bafana wide man Percy Tau. The former Sundowns, Brighton, Anderlecht and Club Brugge attacker has been a key player for Ahly, helping them to nine trophies in his almost three years in Cairo.
“With Percy Tau’s future at Al Ahly seemingly in limbo, just how much the Egyptian giants want for the Bafana Bafana attacker has now reportedly been revealed. Now, however, it is claimed the Red Devils are willing to let go of the 30-year_old, having slapped a price tag of $2 million (about R36 million) on the player, according to Egyptian news site Mobtada, who cited “private sources”. It has previously been claimed that the former Brighton & Hove Albion star has attracted the interest of DStv Premiership side Kaizer Chiefs.” said the report.
Should Chiefs make a move for either Zungu or Sirino now, who are both available for free? Let us know in the comments.
