The Namibian left-back has been a standout performer for AmaZulu, and Chiefs are looking to add his experience and defensive capabilities to their roster.The pursuit of Hanamub indicates Chiefs’ determination to strengthen their backline after facing setbacks in acquiring Basadien.

According to a report from 45min.com, Kaizer Chiefs have been closely pursuing Bafana Bafana international Fawaz Basadien for some time. However, the club is now coming to terms with the reality that Stellenbosch FC is unlikely to agree to a deal during this transfer window.

Despite Chiefs’ strong interest, Stellenbosch appears firm in their decision to retain the player, prompting Amakhosi to explore other options, such as AmaZulu’s Riaan Hanamub, to bolster their defensive lineup.

The public broadcaster has also been led to believe that the Soweto giants are confident they can convince Usuthu to conclude the transfer, especially with the left back said to be in the final year of his contract.

It’s not the first time Hanamub is on the wanted list of a Gauteng club – he has previously been linked with Orlando Pirates, although those reports were rebuffed by AmaZulu president Sandile Zungu last year.

Hanamub joined the KwaZulu Natal outfit in July 2022 from Chippa United after being one of the standout players and has consistency carried that through even in the national team, helping Namibia qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year.

The defender featured in four matches at the tournament hosted by Cote d’Ivoire as The Warriors reached the last 16 of the competition.

Chiefs had made several attempts to sign Basadien, but despite the player being keen on the move Stellies did not budge.

It’s understood they are buoyant about talks over Hanamub being successful as the offer made for Basadien could be more appealing to Usuthu.
