Kaizer Chiefs to Increase Bid for Cape Town Spurs Youngster Asanele Velebayi
As the PSL transfer window approaches its close on September 20, Kaizer Chiefs are intensifying their efforts to secure the services of Cape Town Spurs’ promising winger, Asanele Velebayi. The Chiefs are reportedly preparing to make an improved offer for the highly sought-after young talent, reflecting their determination to bring him into their squad.
Velebayi, who has been a standout performer for Spurs, particularly caught the eye with his dynamic displays on the wing. His recent performance in a goalless draw against AmaTuks in the Motsepe Foundation Championship highlighted his potential. Despite the draw, Velebayi’s lively presence on the field was evident, showcasing the qualities that have made him a target for Chiefs.
Sources close to Cape Town Spurs indicate that the club is holding firm on its asking price, which is expected to be substantial given Velebayi’s talent and potential. “Asanele is young, so it makes sense that Spurs are trying to get more money from his proposed transfer,” said a source familiar with the negotiations. “The player is also interested in joining Chiefs, but for now, he has to focus on his current club as Chiefs prepare to go back to Spurs with an improved offer.”
The relationship between the two clubs, established through recent transactions such as Rushwin Dortley’s move to Chiefs, might facilitate smoother negotiations. Velebayi’s potential move to Chiefs is eagerly anticipated by fans, who are keen to see the winger’s speed and flair in action at FNB Stadium. The source further commented, “You saw today that he had a good game and the Chiefs fans will love him because he’s quick on the wing and tricky to defend against.”
Velebayi, who featured in 23 matches for Spurs last season, demonstrated his capabilities despite the team’s relegation from the Betway Premiership. His performances have not gone unnoticed, and Chiefs are keen to integrate him into their setup, enhancing their attacking options for the upcoming season.
As the deadline for the transfer window draws near, both clubs will need to navigate the final stages of negotiation carefully. Chiefs are hopeful that an agreement will be reached, allowing them to secure a player who could become a key asset for their squad in the season ahead.
