Zwane Opens Up On Chiefs Transfer Plans

Kaizer Chiefs head coach Arthur Zwane says they won’t enter the market for the sake of signing players in the current January window. With Chiefs seemingly not interested in adding Pule Mmodi to their squad, after Golden Arrows issued a clear message the player is available for the right price, it’s become evident that there’s other priorities for their transfer strategy this month. Njabulo Blom’s exit, and their lack of goal scorers has notably plagued Zwane’s new-look side that’s struggled for consistency, in fourth place, 13 points behind league leaders Mamelodi Sundowns after 15 games played. “Any available quality player,

Mokwena – Sundowns Is About Shoeshine & Piano

Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Rulani Mokwena has insisted the shoeshine and piano style of play that was designed many years ago is back at the club. Mamelodi Sundowns’ obvious show of crispiness, fluidity and suffocating teams at will, Mokwena has brought it back what was the club’s DNA since taking over the reigns.

Hunt On Fleurs Potential Move To Chiefs

SuperSport United coach Gavin Hunt says its impossible that they will sell Luke Fleurs right now, as they have been left thin in defence. SuperSport are thin at the back due to Thulani Hlatshwayo having picked up an injury in the club’s first game when the season resumed against Marumo Gallants last month.
