Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates chasing 17-goal striker
Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates are reportedly interested in a 24-year-old striker, Muzomuhle Khanyi, who plays for Hungry Lions.
Khanyi has been in impressive form, scoring 17 goals in the Motsepe Foundation Championship. His goal-scoring abilities have caught the attention of the Soweto giants, and if he continues to perform well, he could secure a significant contract by the end of the season.
The Chiefs recently signed a new striker in the January transfer window, while the Pirates have been alternating between Evidence Makgopa and Tshegofatso Mabasa. Both players have had average performances this season, which may explain why the Buccaneers are looking for a proven goal-scorer. Whether Khanyi can consistently find the back of the net remains uncertain.
Chiefs and Pirates battle for Hungry Lions star player
According to Soccer Laduma, the Buccaneers have been monitoring Khanyi for several months but have yet to make an official offer. On the other hand, Chiefs have recently entered the competition for his signature. The team from Naturena has consistently struggled to score goals, so they may need Khanyi even more than Pirates do.
A source told Soccer Laduma that both Soweto giants have shown interest in Khanyi this season.
“Enquiries have been made from Chiefs about Khanyi and it looks like the player will be definitely leaving Hungry Lions at the end of the season. This is the player who has been on the radar of Pirates for some time and Chiefs are now showing interest,” a source told the publication this week.

Nabi interest
“A new report now claims that Kaizer Chiefs boss Nasreddine Nabi is among the candidates for the managerial role at a top African nation,” KickOff reported.

Kaizer Chiefs eyeing AmaZulu star
Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly ready to try again for uSuthu playmaker Rowan Human:
“The team [Kaizer Chiefs] is already planning for next season and apart from the striker they are looking for, they are also looking at bolstering the midfield and they are reconsidering Rowan [Human] from AmaZulu,” said SoccerLaduma.
“You know the scouts looks at players who would fit in the team’s system and they are believed to have identified Human as one target for the midfield position for next season.”
An additional source confirmed Kaizer Chiefs’ keeness, saying, “It’s true they had inquired about him just before he left Maritzburg United to join AmaZulu FC but things didn’t work at that time,
“Now they are back on the radar for his services and it will all depend on what happens at the end of the season but for now both the technical team and scouts are apparently happy with what they have seen in Human and they want him.”
