Kaizer Chiefs could enjoy another player transfer move or two since Njabulo Blom and Siyabonga Ngezana in recent times.

ASHLEY DU PREEZ
In the meantime, another Kaizer Chiefs player, the 27-year-old forward Ashley Du Preez, is the subject of interest from Portugal’s Vitoria S.C. According to Soccer Laduma, Vitoria are prepared to pay €3 million (R20 million).
“The Portuguese club is sure about Ashley. They’ve now made an offer for his transfer. But at the moment it’s the Sporting Director dealing with it so it’s hard to know how much the offer is right now. But the interest is strong and it will all depend on the negotiations and he could be moving before the transfer period closed,” a source told the outlet.
HOW KAIZER CHIEFS MISSED OUT ON KHANYISA MAYO
Kaizer Chiefs supporters might take this the hard way. Khanyisa Mayo to Amakhosi fell through by seconds of a minute.
Betway Premiership giants Kaizer Chiefs were only seconds away from signing Khanyisa Mayo. Unfortunately for Amakhosi, Algerian giants CR Belouizdad moved faster.
As reported on 3 August, the 25-year-old striker from Umtata signed for the Algerian giants from Cape Town City on a deal that is reportedly around R20 million.
Speaking to the media on Monday, Mayo’s agent, Basia Michaels, revealed how Kaizer Chiefs lost out on the player that had been targeting for over two seasons.
According to Michaels, Amakhosi sent their offer to sign Mayo a few seconds too late.
“I think Chiefs fell short because they were seconds too late from the offer that was made from CRB,” Mayo’s agent Basia Michaels said via Metro FM, as cited by @safootclassics.
