Kaizer Chiefs are still searching the market to add some top attacking talents to their side for next season.
Chiefs have struggled for goals in the past three seasons and missed out on the top eight again last season.
There have been quite a few attackers linked with Chiefs going into the next season. This as a sign of what they’re trying to fix in the final third. Amakhosi have seen the likes of Fiston Mayele, Etiosa Ighodaro, Robert Polievka mentioned as strikers. In the wingers department Oswin Appollis, Elias Mokwana, Mihlali Mayambela and Keletso Makgalwa have been touted.
Maseko was linked to Chiefs
Another player who was also linked with Chiefs not too long ago was Mamelodi Sundowns star Thapelo Maseko. The player has not had the best of times since joining Masandawana, getting very limited game time so far. His situation took an even worse turn after being left out by the side for their FIFA Club World Cup exploits.
The rumours of Maseko joining Chiefs have gone quiet recently and its now his former side SuperSport United being mentioned. According to Soccer-Laduma, talks of a return Matsatsantsa are at an advanced stage!
SuperSport United now in advanced talks to sign him
“SuperSport United wanted him initially on loan in January before they got Lebohang Maboe but things didn’t work out that time. Now they are working on a permanent deal for Maseko and apparently it’s believed that it’s imminent,” said a source to the same publication.
A well placed source also told the same publication that Maseko was no longer in the Sundowns plans.
“You see those players who went to the USA for the FIFA Club World Cup are the core of Sundowns. Their contracts and future is safe. Thapelo Maseko was left behind so that he could finalise his move back to SuperSport United and now it’s believed that the deal is imminent,” said the source.
Should Amakhosi look to hijack the deal?
