TRANSFER NEWS
The latest Kaizer Chiefs transfer news includes two targets, as well as four exits at the end of the Betway Premiership season. Looking at the past week’s stories, Amakhosi is still linked to Feisal Salum of Azam FC in Tanzania and Luke Le Roux, who plays his football in Sweden for IFK Värnamo.
According to the Citizen, Amakhosi have kickstarted discussions with Azam to sign the 27-year-old midfield prototype. “Informal talks between Chiefs and Azam have already started, but as you know, until an offer has been submitted, there’ll be denials all over,” a source told the outlet. “But what I can tell you is that talks have indeed started,” the source added.
“Football is business, Azam may say now that they’re not willing to sell, but they know that they’ll have to sell if the player doesn’t want to renew his contract. They won’t want to risk losing him for free,” he concluded.
On Luke Le Roux: According to Soccer Laduma, Amakhosi are hot on the heels of the 24-year-old star who currently plays his football for Värnamo in Sweden. Kaizer Chiefs believe they stand a great chance to win Le Roux as it is not yet in great demand in the Betway Premiership. “What the club has decided on their recruitment policy is to try and sig much players as possible who are not in demand from their local rivals many occasions when they are competing with other local teams they up not signing those players,” a source told the outlet. “Now that’s why they have reignited the pu of Luke Le Roux. He is a South African but currently playing in Europe are they believe they stand a better chance of signing him,” the insider added.
