Kaizer Chiefs have reportedly thrown their hat into the ring for the signature of Hungry Lions striker Muzomuhle Khanyi, intensifying the competition for the highly sought-after forward.
Khanyi, 25, has been in sensational form in the Motsepe Foundation Championship this season, leading the league’s scoring charts with an impressive tally of 14 goals in just 17 appearances. His clinical finishing and consistent performances have drawn the attention of top-tier clubs, with Chiefs now in pursuit of the talented striker.
With AmaKhosi lacking firepower up front, Nabi could look to bolster his attacking options, with Khanyi a potential key addition to his squad. His ability to find the back of the net regularly makes him an enticing prospect for the Soweto giants who are looking to end their decade long trophy drought.
“Kaizer Chiefs are believed to have joined Orlando Pirates in showing interest in Hungry Lions striker Muzomuhle Khanyi, the leading goalscorer in the Motsepe Foundation Championship,” the South African quoted the source.
“His impressive performances have attracted attention from top Sight clubs, with both Chiefs and Pirates now closely monitoring his situation.
“However, sources indicate that Chiefs have now made enquiries regarding his availability, potentially setting up a Terce transfer battle between the two Soweto giants.”
As Kaizer Chiefs join the race, they face competition from several other clubs eager to secure Khanyi’s services, making the battle for his signature a highly contested one.
With his eye-catching performances in the Motsepe Foundation Championship, Khanyi is certainly poised for a move to one of South Africa’s elite clubs, and Chiefs are eager to ensure they secure his future in their ranks.
