Kaizer Chiefs are rumoured to be keen on reuniting with two of their former players. Will it work, and will it even happen?
Dithejane has been shining
According to SoccerLaduma, Amakhosi are closely following Puso Dithejane’s performance with TS Galaxy. The former academy product from Naturena has thrived in the number 10 role for Sead Ramovic’s side.
According to the same publication, Thato Khiba is also a wanted man. The 28-year-old TS Galaxy defender is a versatile operator and Orlando Pirates have registered an interest and are willing to loan players out in order to facilitate a deal in January. Carling Knockout holders Stellenbosch are also keen on the former Chiefs DDC player.
“For now, there are other clubs that have joined the race for his services. First, it was the Pirates who showed interest first, and then the Chiefs, followed by Stellenbosch FC, have also inquired about him,” a source told SoccerLaduma.
Teenage prodigy is a Rolls Royce
Speaking of DDC talents, Royce Malatji is one you should be remembering. Amakhosi’s technical team have uncovered another gem. 16-year-old teenage prodigy Royce Malatji has had a taste of first-team training at Naturena and he seems to be a player capable of playing several positions. The most talented youngsters often can. With a name like Royce, perhaps he’s destined for the top. If you’re good enough you’re old enough.
“He is just 16 years old but he is very good. He can play at right back, central defence, right-wing or even as a central midfielder. It doesn’t matter where he plays – he is just good!,” the Siya crew stated on SoccerLaduma.
Final five fixtures of 2024
After a strong start, the Glamour Boys dropped valuable points in recent league encounters. They lost 1-0 to SuperSport and managed only a 2-2 draw with new boys Magesi. That’s before they got unceremoniously dumped out of the Carling Knockout by Sundowns in a demoralising 4-0 defeat.
