Kaizer Chiefs Chase Ashley Du Preez and Yusuf Maart’s Signatures As Amakhosi Look to Rebuild for Next Season

• Kaizer Chiefs are looking to make two big signings before the end of the season in defence and attack
• The Amakhosi have already signed Zitha Kwinika from Stellenbosch FC and now want to sign Ashley du Preez
• Sekhukhune United captain Yusuf Maart is also close to agreeing on a deal with Kaizer Chiefs ahead of the new season

Kaizer Chiefs are serious about bolstering their squad ahead of the new season.

The Amakhosi have talked a lot about rebuilding since Arthur Zwane and Dillon Sheppard took over, and now they’re doing just that.

The Glamour Boys are guaranteed to welcome two new faces to the Naturena next season and are already looking at two more.

In January they signed AmaZulu’s Siyethemba Sithebe on a pre-contract and this week confirmed the signing of Zitha Kwinika from Stellenbosch FC.

The South African now reports that Chiefs are chasing the signature of Sekhukhune United captain Yusuf Maart while iDiski Times reports that the Soweto giants are interested in signing Stellenbosch FC forward, Ashley du Preez.

The club have been admirers of both players for a while and have been linked with them before.

According to the iDiski Times article, Chiefs have already made contact with the club over the player’s signature and could consider a player-plus-cash deal to tempt Stellies into selling.

With regards to Maart, Chiefs previously tried to sign the player in the January transfer window. Maart’s contract with Sekhukhune United only expires in 2023 and the club have an option to extend it further.

Kgaogelo Sekgota, Nkosingiphile Ngcobo and Sabelo Radebe are recovering from illness. Also out of action is Cole Alexander who has been suspended and Dumisani Zuma who was suspended by the club earlier this month.
