Kaizer Chiefs seem to be one of the busier teams when it comes to looking at boosting their squad for the new season.

They have already signed three players and are believed to be monitoring further possibilities in different positions.

Siya sources have indicated that Chiefs have possibly enquired about Richards Bay winger Sanele Barns with the aim of bringing him on board if the talks go well.

The source added that during talks concerning other players, the former University of Pretoria player's name was brought up in the discussion.

"They haven't hidden their liking for Barns. They have made it clear that they would want to have him," said the Siya source.

"They tried when he was at AmaTuks but he went to Richards Bay and now they want him again. The thing is there are other players which both teams want from each other and that would affect this move.

"But he is a separate player and they seem to be dealing with it separately as well. They said they don't have a winger like him and that's why they would want to bring him in," the source told the Siya crew. 

The 26-year-old has been called up to the Bafana Bafana provisional squad for the COSAFA Cup that is going into camp on Tuesday, 27 June. Barns had played 26 DStv Premier League games for the Natal Rich Boyz last season, creating four assists and scoring on four occasions.

Kaizer Chiefs did not respond to the potential transfer interest at the time of preparing this story.
