Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly keen on bolstering their squad further with the acquisition of Cape Town Spurs winger Asanele Velebayi.
The Soweto giants have been active in the transfer market, aiming to build a competitive team under new coach Nasreddine Nabi.
Following a disappointing season, Chiefs have undergone a significant overhaul. Departures of key players like Keagan Dolly, Sifiso Hlanti, and Njabulo Ngcobo have opened doors for new signings.
The club has already secured the services of Bongani Sam from Orlando Pirates and Rushwin Dortley from Cape Town Spurs to strengthen their defense.
With the goalkeeping position solidified by the signing of Fiacre Ntwari, Chiefs’ attention has turned to attacking options. Velebayi, a 21-year-old winger, has caught their eye despite modest statistics of one goal and one assist in 24 matches last season.
The Glamour Boys believe that the young talent can flourish under Nabi’s guidance and are prepared to make an offer for him.
However, Spurs are expected to demand a fee for their prized asset, as they look to capitalize on the interest generated by Velebayi.
Chiefs fans are eagerly awaiting further developments in this potential transfer, as the club continues to shape its squad for the upcoming season.
Whether Velebayi will be the next addition to the Amakhosi remains to be seen, but the club’s pursuit of young talent is clear.
