Kaizer Chiefs wonderkid on AmaZulu's radar
Kaizer Chiefs' young talent Manqoba Ozoemena is being eyed by AmaZulu FC, as former Amakhosi coach Arthur Zwane looks to reunite with the versatile player he once mentored at Naturena. With Kaizer Chiefs currently deep into their pre-season preparations in the Netherlands, five DStv Diski Challenge (DDC) players joined the senior squad for the European tour. Among them, 20-year-old Ozoemena has stood out, attracting serious attention from AmaZulu's technical team. Sources close to both clubs have confirmed that AmaZulu have officially expressed interest in securing Ozoemena's services for the upcoming season. Head coach Arthur Zwane, who previously worked with the player at Chiefs, has reportedly endorsed the move. 'It's believed that the AmaZulu FC technical team has proposed to management about Manqoba (Ozoemena). Coach Arthur (Zwane) knows him very well and he believes that the player can help the team this season as they compete in the MTN8 and the other tournaments as well,' said a source familiar with the negotiations. Zwane's belief in Ozoemena's ability seems to be a key driver behind AmaZulu's pursuit, with the coach confident the youngster can contribute immediately in multiple competitions. AmaZulu's interest in Ozoemena forms part of a wider recruitment strategy ahead of the 2025/2026 season. Another insider revealed that Usuthu have already signed several players and remain active in the market. 'At the moment there are about three or four players already believed to have been signed. And the club is still looking at reinforcing the squad and that's why they have enquired about Manqoba Ozoemena,' the source revealed. This proactive transfer approach highlights AmaZulu's ambitions under Zwane. With a clear focus on building a squad capable of challenging across all fronts. Ozoemena, a Soweto-born right-sided dynamo who can slot in at both right-back and right wing. And has trained with the Amakhosi first team since last season. He travelled with the senior squad to the Netherlands. Hoping to convince new head coach Nasreddine Nabi of his readiness for top-flight football. Whether Nabi chooses to retain the promising 20-year-old or allow him to gain experience elsewhere remains a critical decision for Chiefs' development plans. Kaizer Chiefs fans will now wait anxiously to see if the club holds on to one of their brightest academy graduates. Or if Ozoemena makes the switch to KwaZulu-Natal to reunite with Zwane at AmaZulu. Will AmaZulu be a good place for the Kaizer Chiefs young star? Let us know by leaving a comment below or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.

LOL: 'Kaizer Chiefs signed a striker from TEMU'
New Kaizer Chiefs striker Flavio Silva has caused a stir online after some lacklustre performances on the pre-season tour in the Netherlands. The 29-year-old striker was born in Guinea-Bissau and holds Portuguese citizenship. He has three caps for his country and two goals. The The comments sections on articles here at The South African scarcely disappoint. One recent reader says that, by purchasing Flavio Silva, Kaizer Chiefs have got a 'striker straight off TEMU' which isn't kind but it's kinda funny. Silva didn't knock the lights out with his performances on pre-season for Chiefs, but neither did the entire team, to be fair. How long will he need to settle into the playing style in South Africa? Bvuma; Monyane, Miguel, Dortley, Shinga; Ndlovu, Cele; Lilepo, Chislett, Mako; Du Preez. This system would see Mako used in a more advanced role down the left-hand side. What's painfully obvious, still, is that Chiefs need a conventional striker. Tashreeq Morris isn't the long-term solution, while Ashley Du Preez prefers operating in the wide areas. New boy Flavio Silva has attracted some criticism after his performances in pre-season. Click for the story Pitso Mosimane's son heads to Italy According to KickOff , Orlando Pirates have landed an almighty coup in signing Oswin Appollis from Polokwane City. The Sea Robbers managed to pay only R12 million for the star winger despite Polokwane having a much larger number in mind. Polokwane chairman Johnny Mogaladi allegedly has a frosty relationship with the Kaizer Chiefs top brass, meaning a deal between the sides was never likely. Chiefs manager Nasreddine Nabi also feels as though new signing Glody Lilepo can provide a better end-product than Appollis, who only managed two goals and an assist from 25 league outings last term.
