Kaizer Chiefs transfer list: Four out, foreign internationals to go
Kaizer Chiefs are expected to make official pronouncements on new players that will be coming on board from 1 July. This will just be before their pre-season tour to the Netherlands where they will play a few high-profile friendly games. Paseka Mako and Thabiso Monyane are expected to be among those new faces at Naturena after leaving Orlando Pirates. Nonetheless, Amakhosi have already started their clear out process with four players already gone. Sabelo Radebe was the first to go after struggling to cement his place in the team following his promotion to the senior team. A loan move to Richards Bay FC did little to help him adapt to topflight football, and Chiefs sent him packing. The Glamour Boys then allowed loanee and club graduate Njabulo Blom to return to US-based outfit St Louis. Chiefs quickly made a decision to offload Ranga Chivaviro after two seasons with them given his struggles in front of goal. On Tuesday, the Soweto giants announced the departure of Edmilson Dove in a move that divided opinions among their fans. More foreign internationals are expected to leave Naturena to create space for new international stars they are targeting. Fiacre Ntwari and Edson Castillo are some of the players Chiefs could release before the start of the new season. Former Kaizer Chiefs left-back Edmilson Dove.
