The Soweto giants have been heavily linked with Stellenbosch FC winger Langelihle Phili however, it appears the Cape Winelands side placed a hefty price tag of R16 million.
Chiefs were also linked to ex-Orlando Pirates striker Tshegofatso Mabasa but with the permanent aquisition of Khanyisa Mayo, it looks less likely that the 29-year-old top scorer will move to Naturena.
In terms of defence,Amakhosi have two left-backs injured. Both Paseka Mako and Bradley Cross could miss the team’s opening match against Kruger United this weekend.
One signing the Glamour Boys can make is that of Fawaaz Basadien. The talented left-back has not enjoyed life at Mamelodi Sundowns and it might be the perfect time for Kaizer Chiefs to cash-in.
Speaking on iDiski TV, former Amakhsi winger Khanye urged his former club to go into the market and sign quality players
“Chiefs have the resources; they can buy players. That’s my point. They should go to the market and bring in players,” he said.
Kaizer Chiefs urged to buy players
Khanye argued that Chiefs needed to compete with rivals but for that to happen, quality players needed to be bought.
“Look at Sundowns; they dominated for eight years locally and finally won a star last season,” the ex-Kaizer Chiefs star said.
“Pirates have been consistent in playing good football, and finally they won the league. That’s my point.
“If you don’t have quality and you want miracles from the coach, it’s a mountain to climb because a coach can’t coach and play,” Khanye added.
