Kaizer Chiefs have added a young player to their squad during their training tour in Turkey.
Kaizer Chiefs are continuing to bolster their squad with fresh talent. Recently, an 18-year-old midfielder, Nkosana Mbuthu, has been spotted training with the senior team during their pre-season tour in Turkey.
KAIZER CHIEFS TO PROMOTE MANQOBA OZOEMENA?
Amakhosi supporters who have watched U19 football and the DStv Diski Challenge will be familiar with the 19-year-old Manqoba Ozoemena. Following Siyethemba Sithebe’s departure, Ozoemena has been spotted with the senior team training in Sakarya, Turkey.
NKOSANA MBUTHU AND SIPHESIHLE TATI
Kaizer Chiefs seem to be keeping their promise to develop their own talent these days. A new kid has seemingly left the country with the first team to spend pre-season in Turkey.
Soon before Amakhosi headed for the airport to travel to Turkey on Thursday, one of the reserve team players, Mbuthu, age 18, was seen with two promoted peers Donay Jansen and Mfundo Vilakazi with traveling bags and all.
A few hours later, reports confirmed that Kaizer Chiefs left for Turkey for pre-season. Does it mean Mbuthu, who plays as a left-sided midfielder/winger, is part of the squad? Most certainly, especially with the likes of Tebogo Potsane, Mduduzi Mdantsane and George Matlou staying behind in Mzansi due to injuries.
Mbuthu’s peer, Siphesile Tati has also been part of the first team for pre-season.

“Kaizer Chiefs Chiefs’ talent Siphesihle Tati is currently training with the senior side as he is being assessed by the coaching team,” iDiski Times’ leading reporter Sinethemba Makonco reported last.
“iDiski Times received information that the midfielder is currently training with the senior side, and he is under the assessment and watchful eye of Fernando Da Cruz, who will soon be announced as the assistant coach,” the report added.
Amakhosi are reportedly close to announcing the left-back Bongani Sam. The 26-year-old is available for free after his deal with Orlando Pirates expired on 30 June.
