Chiefs Offered Hope In Search For A Winger?

Chiefs Offered Hope In Search For A Winger?

An exciting young talent could be on the market in the DStv Premiership amidst Kaizer Chiefs' search for a winger.

Chiefs head coach Arthur Zwane previously made it clear that they need to find a suitable winger, particularly on the right, to take the pressure off Kgaogelo Sekgota, when the former Bidvest Wits attacker was buzzing early on in the season.

As previously reported by the Siya crew, Amakhosi had a strong interest in signing Pule Mmodi, who can play that role, from Golden Arrows and entered into negotiations with the KwaZulu-Natal side.

However, the two clubs could not reach an agreement on a transfer of the Bafana forward, who has already scored four goals so far this season for Abafana Bes'thende in the league.

Mmodi will enter the final six months of his contract in the turn of the new year and according to Siya sources, there has not been official bids for his services, which could indicate that he could potentially be targeted to sign a pre-contract by his suitors, with Orlando Pirates reportedly also in the running for his signature, among other clubs.

As reported in edition 1304 of Soccer Laduma, Stellenbosch winger Solly Khunyedi will likely stay with the Cape Winelands outfit for a foreseeable future after he attracted interest from Europe.

Siya sources have previously indicated that there was a strong interest for the services of Khunyedi from Scotland, although formal talks did not take place.

However, Stellies have opted to keep the 22-year old a little longer, with head coach Steve Barker holding the key to the player's further development.

Khunyedi made 17 appearances for the Western Cape outfit last season after they finished a commendable fourth on the table.

However, the bidding youngster has only featured twice this season under the experienced tactician and with a potential European move put on the back burner, the 22-year could seek a bigger challenge locally, if he continues not to get game time.

The Glamour Boys have shown a liking for Stellies associated youngsters and Khunyedi could be one of the options in their search for a winger.

However, any interested suitor, will have to pay a sizeable transfer fee to prize the 22-year old, who is on the radar of international scouts, away from the Danie Craven Stadium and Lentelus Sports Ground.
