Kaizer Chiefs: Four players sold abroad in four years
Since 2022, Kaizer Chiefs have sold Njabulo Blom to St Louis, Siyabonga Ngezana to FCSB, Thatayaone Ditlhokwe to Al-Ittihad and Yusuf Maart to SV Ried. ADVERTISEMENT This impressive influx of cash helped Kaizer Chiefs balance its books and sign new players such as Rushwin Dortley, Inacio Miguel and Glody Lilepo. According to Transfermarkt, the leading global source for player market values, the deals have generated around R70 million for the club known as Amakhosi. KAIZER CHIEFS PLAYER SALES IN FOUR YEARS Striker's father reveals what Amakhosi asked him Njabulo Blom – St. Louis City SC (USA) – €300,000 (± R6 million) Since 2022, the first sale was the homegrown talent Njabulo Blom, aged 23, who was transferred to St. Louis City SC in Major League Soccer for an estimated €300,000, equating to about R6 million. ADVERTISEMENT French-based star waiting for Kaizer Chiefs bosses 2. Siyabonga Ngezana – FCSB (Romania) – €600,000 (± R12 million) In July 2023, Siyabonga Ngezana was transferred to Romanian Liga I side FCSB (formerly Steaua Bucharest) for an estimated €600,000, or around R12 million. A solid defender and academy product, his sale marked the club's strategic move to develop and sell talent at peak value. 3. Thatayaone Ditlhokwe – Al-Ittihad (Libya) – €810,000 (± R16.2 million) ADVERTISEMENT Botswana international Thatayaone Ditlhokwe was sold in 2023 to Libyan giants Al-Ittihad for an estimated €810,000 (around R16.2 million). His departure added another profitable sale, despite limited impact at Kaizer Chiefs. 4. YUSUF MAART – SV RIED (AUSTRIA) – €1,000,000 (± R20 MILLION) The biggest of the lot was just a week ago. Yusuf Maart joined Austrian Bundesliga side SV Ried for an estimated €1,000,000 (approximately R20 million). His move was both a financial win and a significant loss on the pitch. However, Kaizer Chiefs are rumoured to be close to signing Feisal Salum from Azam FC, with the funds, possibly one or two more players. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE CLUB'S TRANSFERS SO FAR THIS WINTER?

Shelbourne learn possible third round Champions Lge tie
The winner of the second round Champions League qualifying tie between Shelbourne and Qarabag will take face Romanian side FCSB or Macedonian outfit KF Shkendija in the next round. The draw was made at UEFA headquarters in Nyon this morning, ahead of Joey O'Brien's side hoping to cause a big upset to overcome the Azerbaijani side. The Reds begin their second round tie at Tolka Park on Wednesday before travelling to Baku next week. FCSB are the modern equivalent of Steaua Bucuresti, having changed name due to ownership issues, and would be favourites to progress to round three. They reached the last 16 of last year's Europa League before losing to Lyon. Ironically Shels came close to drawing FCSB in the first round, but were instead paired with Linfield. Shels will also have a keen eye on the Europa League draw at 12pm which will inform them of a possible opponent should they lose to Qarabag. Elsewhere Shamrock Rovers and St Patrick's Athletic will be in the third round draw of the Conference League at 1pm . The Hoops are in Gibraltar this week to take on St Joseph's in the second round, while Pat's are at home to Estonian outfit Nomme JK Kalju.
