Kaizer Chiefs are in the midst of an active transfer period, with strong interest in Cape Town Spurs winger Asanele Velebayi.
The 22-year-old is free to join any club this winter.
Double Deal in the Works
Chiefs are eyeing both Velebayi and promising 19-year-old striker Luke Baartman in a potential double signing.
Velebayi made 23 league appearances in the 2023-24 Betway Premiership, while Baartman scored twice in nine matches.
Bargain Transfer Targets
Reports suggest Chiefs could secure Velebayi for free and Baartman for around R3 million.
The young forward’s potential makes the move a low-risk investment.
Experienced Midfielder on the Radar
31-year-old Thibang “Cafu” Phete has hinted at a return to South Africa.
The versatile midfielder-defender has played in Portugal and the UAE, earning four Bafana Bafana caps.
Sekhukhune Lead the Race for Phete
Local reports indicate Sekhukhune United are favourites to sign Phete, though Chiefs remain an interested party.
