Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly hot on the heels of three exciting potential signings in the January transfer window. The club is aiming to bolster its squad with top talent and the following three players are said to be on their radar.
Kaizer Chiefs Chase Big-Name Signings
Could this upcoming January transfer window see three high-profile arrivals at Naturena? The Glamour Boys are reportedly pursuing major talent to strengthen their squad and increase their chances of silverware.
Fiston Mayele –
Valued at €1.2 million (R22.5 million) by transfermarkt,
Fiston Mayele, the experienced marksman isn’t going to come cheap. He boasts an exemplary goal-scoring record, including an impressive four goals in four Caf Champions League games this season. His ability to find the back of the net is undeniable, scoring 26 goals in 52 matches overall for Pyramids FC – a stunning scoring ratio.
Feisal Salum
Feisal Salum, valued at roughly €100k, or R1.8 million, by transfermarkt, would likely command a significantly higher transfer fee. The classy 26-year-old scored 19 goals last season for Azam FC and already has double figures for the 2024-2025 campaign. With 37 caps for Tanzania, he’s a proven performer.
While his transfermarkt value is low, Chiefs will likely need to fork out north of R13 million if they want him on board. They’ll also need to budget for a base salary of approximately R220k per month.
Oswin Appollis
23-year-old Bafana Bafana and Polokwane City winger Oswin Appollis is a player with rare talent, boasting a low centre of gravity and the ability to dribble past defenders with ease. His unique skill set makes him a highly sought-after target.
Recent big-money moves within South African football show Appollis could command a hefty price tag.
Elias Mokwana joined Esperance for R7.2 million,
Iqraam Rayners moved to Sundowns, his estimated value now stands at R35 million,
and Khanyisa Mayo secured a move to Algeria with Belouizdad for €750k (R14.5 million).
Polokwane City could likely hold out for around R15 million for their promising star.
