Kaizer Chiefs news: Appollis, Nabi, Mayele, Bobby Motaung scandal
If Nasreddine Nabi's demands are anything to go by, Kaizer Chiefs are set to have another busy offseason following a ten-player haul in the last winter window.
The Tunisian coach made a public statement saying he expects AmaKhosi to equip him with the means to purchase fresh talent in the coming months and hinted at leaving if that isn't the case.
'I wouldn't be honest if say that I'm gonna stay if the club doesn't allow me to get all the tools to succeed next season because they have promised, and myself, I have promised the fans that I want to build a successful team that will compete in every competition to win trophies.'
'That's the condition for me to stay [at Chiefs] because I don't feel that I want to go through what I went through this season.'
According to reports, long-term target and Bafana winger Oswin Appollis could be one the club's first offseason arrivals.
'What we believe is that apparently the talks involving Appollis and Kaizer Chiefs are at an advanced stage,' an inside source revealed.
Another attacker on Kaizer Chiefs' radar is Pyramids' Fiston Mayele, who confirmed that the two parties had begun talks in December. Sowetan rivals Orlando Pirates is also in the race for the 30-year-old, denting the Glamour Boys' chances of landing the in-form striker.
According to reports, Kaizer Chiefs Football Manager Bobby Motaung is facing charges from Pent Up Investment CC, which has accused him of owing the company approximately R4.3 million after a property deal went awry.
