Chiefs & Pirates gossip: Serero, Mbokazi, Khanyi, Saleng, Mbatha
Today’s Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates transfer gossip revolves around the futures of Monnapule Saleng and Thulani Serero.
Cream chooses Cape Town City as Kaizer Chiefs lurk
Former Bafana Bafana midfielder Thulani Serero is a free agent and on the brink of signing for Cape Town City. Kaizer Chiefs fans want the former Ajax Amsterdam and FC Twente schemer in the engine room for Nasreddine Nabi’s side. The diminutive star has won 43 caps for South Africa in a distinguished career which has seen him enjoy club stints in the Netherlands and the UAE.
Where is Thalente Mbatha?
Gifted central midfielder Thalente Mbatha issued his own update on Instagram addressing rumours he had arrived at training intoxicated. The club is also facing a midfield crisis before their clash with Cape Town City.
“They said I’m not training, you listen to everything, and I just came back from training. People can say whatever about me, but I’m coming from training.”
Kaizer Chiefs hijack Pirates’ move for Khanyi?
25-year-old Muzomuhle Khanyi has been causing a stir in the NFD, scoring goals for fun. He recently bagged a treble to further enhance his reputation as one of the best potential bargain deals available on the market. Although Pirates are stocked in this portion of the pitch with the prolific Tshegofatso Mabasa and relentless running power of Evidence Makgopa, there’s no such thing as too many good strikers.
Mbokazi is going to the top for Orlando Pirates
19-year-old central defender Mbekezeli Mbokazi has been training with the senior side. The stylish left-footer has impressed Jose Riveiro and the technical team with his strong work ethic and cool, calm composure on the ball. It’s early days yet, but the club expects big things from the youngster whose crisp distribution over short and long distances is a valuable and rare asset from the left side of central defence. Also, they see him as a natural leader.
Marawa spills the Saleng tea?
51-year-old Robert Marawa said on X: “We have the story but giving the Club their 48hrs to address their fans on the matter. Otherwise, we will.”
Will Saleng play again for Pirates?
