The sources added that among the three, Ditlhokwe has generated interest from other clubs, but Amakhosi hope a solution can be found for all three before the close of the transfer window on September 20.
"Now, the coach seems to have finalised the squad that he wants to keep for the 2024/25 season and had submitted his report to management. There are three players added to the list of the players that he is believed to have recommended to be loaned out and they are all defenders: Thatayaone Ditlhokwe, Zitha Kwinika and Happy Mashiane," said the Siya source privy to information at Chiefs.
"There are new defenders in their positions with the signing of Inacio Miguel, Rushwin Dortley and Bradley Cross. So, the coach has said he would like to have at least 25 players in the squad for this season hence the need to loan these three out," the source added.
A second Siya source stated that the team is not giving up on finding and signing a striker before the close of the transfer window.

"As much as they are looking at loaning players out, they are also still fighting hard to sign a striker, as the coach desires, before the close of the transfer window. He is happy with some of the strikers he has, including the youngsters, but he wants an experienced, proven goalscorer to add to the strikeforce. That's what management is hard working on currently. Signing a winger who can create and score goals is another area they are still looking at as well," the second source stated.
Soccer Laduma contacted Chiefs for comment, but no response was received at the time of publishing this story.
