With several goalkeepers linked with the Glamour Boys, Sports Brief lists shot-stoppers who could replace Khune at the FNB Stadium.

1. Stanley Nwabali (Chippa United, Nigeria)

The Nigerian goalkeeper burst onto the scene after a stellar performance for the Super Eagles at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.

Since the AFCON performance, Nwabali has been linked with a move away from Chippa United, with Kaizer Chiefs also among the clubs showing interest.

The Super Eagles star is one of the best goalkeepers in the DStv Premiership, and he has all it takes to replace the legendary Khune.

2. Denis Onyango (Uganda, Mamelodi Sundowns)

Another player on the list is the legendary Ugandan goalkeeper Onyango, who is now a second fiddle at Mamelodi Sundowns, with Ronwem Williams being Rulani Mokwena's first choice.

The 39-year-old still has some years to deliver at the top stage, with Kaizer Chiefs legendary goalkeeper Brian Baloyi also urging his former club to sign the Ugandan, according to the South African.

3. Salim Magoola (Uganda, Richards Bay)

Magoola is another Ugandan goalkeeper on the list. The 27-year-old is among the hottest shot-stoppers in the PSL, with many top sides eyeing him.

Richards Bay are open to letting Salim leave but are only willing to sell to the highest bidder among the clubs showing interest.

Amakhosi have an edge over others as the Ugandan star prefers a move to the FNB Stadium.

The 'Natal Rich Boyz' goalkeeper has kept seven clean sheets in the South African league this season, a sign that he could be the right choice for the Glamour Boys in the summer.

Kaizer Chiefs to honour Khune

Sports Brief earlier reported that Chiefs announced their plans to honour Khune in their final game of the season against Polokwane City.

In addition to honouring Khune for his services, the FNB Stadium will host one of the most competitive games of the season as they battle for a place in the top eight with the Rise and Shine.
