Kaizer Chiefs’ Reportedly Sign Stellenbosch FC’s Ashley Du Preez but Miss Out Royal AM’s Victor Letsoalo

• Kaizer Chiefs have reportedly signed long term transfer target, Ashley du Preez from Stellenbosch FC
• Victor Letsoalo is also wanted by the Amakhosi but his asking price seems to have ruled Kaizer Chiefs out of the running
• Samir Nurković, Lazarous Kambole and Leonardo Castro are all expected to leave Kaizer Chiefs before the new season starts

It’s no secret that Kaizer Chiefs are desperate to bolster their attacking options.

Reports suggest that the Amakhosi are set to part ways with three strikers and the club has been linked with many others.

Samir Nurković, Lazarous Kambole and Leonardo Castro are all rumoured to be on their way out of the club at the end of the season.

The South African has now reported that the Amakhosi have made a big signing as they’ve agreed on a deal with Stellenbosch FC for Ashley du Preez.

The striker has impressed many people with his performances at Stellies and recently was called up for the Bafana Bafana squad. Du Preez has been on the Amakhosi’s radar for a long time but will finally be headed off to Soweto according to the publication.

The news has not been confirmed by the player or the club as yet. If true, du Preez will become the second Stellies player to make his way to Chiefs this week. Zitha Kwinika also signed for the Amakhosi.

Another player that has been on the radar for Chiefs is Royal AM’s Victor Letsoalo. Interim coach Arthur Zwane admitted that it would be difficult to sign the striker now, SABC Sport reported.

“Is Victor Letsoalo the type of a player that can play for Kaizer Chiefs? The answer is yes. But can we get him? You understand what I’m saying,” Zwane said.

Letsoalo’s price has skyrocketed after an impressive showing in the COSAFA Cup and in the DStv Premiership. When Chiefs were interested in the player, he was believed to be worth R 4 million. Letsoalo is now valued at R20 million just a year later.

Chiefs originally tried to sign Letsoalo but Royal AM CEO Sinky Mnisi rejected the deal at that stage, saying the player was a Rolls Royce and would not be sold for the price of a cheap Mazda.

Itumeleng Khune to Royal AM? Legendary goalkeeper urged to throw in his lot with MaMkhize

In what would be the move to end all moves, Kaizer Chiefs legend Itumeleng Khune has been encouraged to consider the ambitious Royal AM as his next destination, Sports Brief earlier reported.

Khune has cut a forlorn sight on the bench at the Amakhosi this season. Apart from an appearance against Mamelodi Sundowns in the MTN 8 last August, the former Bafana Bafana goalkeeper has been forced to watch from the sidelines.

According to Kick Off, former Jomo Cosmos and Thanda Royal Zulu goalkeeper Aime Kitenge believes that the 35-year-old Khune should not entertain the thought of retirement, instead look elsewhere for game time.
