Wits are monitoring Ajax Cape Town midfielder Lebogang Manyama, with a view of adding him to their roster.

Manyama had been linked with a possible move to defending PSL champions, Kaizer Chiefs, with The Students now showing an interest in theTembisa-born midfielder.

A source close to the player has explained to Soccer-Laduma that the only snag hindering a potential deal is that Ajax have placed a hefty price tag on his signature.

“Wits have shown interest in signing Manyama and now it will be up to them, if they can pay the amount that Ajax are asking for the player. I am not sure of how much, but that's what scared Chiefs off.

“The other problem is that there are different managers involved in the player and Ajax don't know who to deal with it, but Wits seem the favourites right now," said the source.

It remains to be seen where Manyama will be playing his football in the 2013/14 campaign. The Siya crew will keep you updated.
