Motaung Jr also spoke about the club’s interest in Cape Town Spurs winger Asanele Velebayi. Chiefs have reportedly been eyeing the young winger for some time and have tabled an offer for him as well.
“Velebayi fits into our plan as a young prospect. He had a breakthrough season at Spurs, playing about 13 games. He showed great potential and impressed in the 2024 COSAFA Cup, where he got the chance to showcase his skills,” Motaung said.
As the transfer window deadline approaches, it remains to be seen if Chiefs can secure their targets.
