Kaizer Chiefs seriously means business as the club looks ahead to next season judging by its activities on the transfer market.

The Amakhosi have been ruthlessly efficient in offloading players during this off-season while also signing quality players who can end their seven-year-long trophy drought.

According to GhanaSoccerNet, they might try to upset the likes of Atletico Madrid, Saint-Etienne, SD Eibar and Galatasaray for the services of rising Cameroonian star Franck Mbella Etouga.

The agent of Fabrice Ngoma has denied claims that his player has been offered to Kaizer Chiefs.

As reported by Sports Brief, rumours have been doing the rounds that the Raja Casablanca player was offered to the Amakhosi once his contract expires in Morocco.

Ngoma will become a free agent at the end of June and the Amakhosi have been given the first option to sign him.
