Kaizer Chiefs to hijack Pirates, Sundowns moves for coveted winger
Can they pull this off?
Kaizer Chiefs have been tracking a target for some time. However, they face stiff competition from Orlando Pirates and their current club.
Chiefs ready to submit a bid for Moremi
According to SoccerLaduma, Kaizer Chiefs will make a formal offer for Tshepang Moremi, who’s also on the radar of Orlando Pirates and Sundowns. The 24-year-old Bafana man has chipped in with two goals and an impressive six assists in 20 league matches this term. Is he the creative spark Chiefs need?
AmaZulu digging their heels in over key operator Moremi
Chiefs face stiff competition from Sundowns and Pirates. However, another potential stumbling block is AmaZulu’s reluctance to let go of their star man. Usuthu believe they have the financial means to offer the player an attractive new deal which would see him spurn offers from the traditional ‘Big Three’ in South Africa.
“For now, what we can tell you is that Chiefs are set to table an offer for Tshepang (Moremi). They are serious about him and that’s why they want to table this offer for him. The team is looking at restructuring for next season, and Moremi is one of the players they are looking at bringing in,” the source revealed.
“There has been interest in Tshepang, and it’s not only from Chiefs or Pirates. Mamelodi Sundowns are also believed to be interested in him. However, the issue will be with AmaZulu, as they are not ready to release him unless the money is too good. You should know that AmaZulu also pay very well at the moment. So it’s all up to AmaZulu even if Chiefs table the offer,” the source explained.
Can Chiefs pull off this transfer coup ahead of Pirates and Sundowns?
