Kaizer Chiefs are on a mission to revamp their entire squad, and next on their radar is a reliable presence between the posts.
With current options Bruce Bvuma and Brandon Petersen struggling for consistency—and Rwandan international Fiacre Ntwari expected to move on—the club is now exploring new options in the goalkeeping department. One name standing out is Renaldo Leaner, the Sekhukhune United shot-stopper who has recently broken into the Bafana Bafana squad.
According to iDiski Times, Chiefs are preparing to make an approach for the 27-year-old, who has impressed since becoming Sekhukhune’s first-choice keeper under Eric Tinkler. Leaner’s standout moment came in the Nedbank Cup, where he delivered a Man of the Match performance despite his side’s narrow loss to Mamelodi Sundowns.
Chiefs see Leaner as a potential long-term solution as they continue their efforts to rebuild the squad across all departments.
