Kaizer Chiefs management are believed to be hard at work, trying to ensure their squad is ready for next season.
Chiefs are looking at several high profile targets hoping to never have a season like they had in the last.
All the three signings that Chiefs have signed thus far are defensive. Whether it is former TS Galaxy goalkeeper Fiacre Ntwari, or Former Orlando Pirates left Bongani Sam. The latest signing in ex-Cape Town Spurs centre-back and left-back Rushwin Dortley. The club struggled to score goals last season and the fans will rightfully want attacking reinforcements. One of the the players they have been linked to is Elias Mokwana.
Chiefs have three signings
Mokwana has emerged as a top attacking target for Chiefs during the transfer window. It is believed that the club have already made a bid to Sekhukhune United for his services. But now, according to a source speaking to Sunday World the offer was firmly rejected by the Babina Noko CEO Jonas Malatji!
“For now Esperance haven’t tabled any concrete offer but they’ve just indicated verbally that they are interested (in Mokwana). I expect Chiefs to come back with an improved offer in the next 48 hours and then I think the deal will be concluded though I don’t know the exact amount the club is asking because the CEO [Jonas Malatji] is the one handling these things.” Said the source.
Chiefs have only ever signed one player from Sekhukhune in current captain Yusuf Maart back in 2022. The source claims the current situation regarding Mokwana mirrors that deal.
Bid for Mokwana rejected by Sekhukhune
“I remember the same thing happened when we sold them [Chiefs] Maart. Their initial offer was very little and they improved it after three days before signing him. So, I predict that the same thing will happen with Elias (Mokwana) unless Esperance come with a huge offer in the meantime.” Said the source.
It now seems as if Chiefs hold all the cards in their pursuit of Mokwana. The player dreams of playing for the club. Plus the club seem to be very open to sell and are encouraging bids for their top asset!
Chiefs fans, Mokwana be an upgrade on the current wingers at the club? Feel free to leave your thoughts and feelings in the comments below.
