Kaizer Chiefs are moving quickly to get ready for the new season, with coach Nasreddine Nabi focused on a major squad overhaul — and central midfield is his top priority.
Nabi has already identified key targets to strengthen the midfield, with Tanzanian international Feisal Salum and Sipho Mbule reportedly leading the list. This signals a clear shift in strategy for Amakhosi, where midfield competition is about to heat up.
Samkelo Zwane’s place at Chiefs is uncertain
Zwane, who made just 13 appearances last season across all competitions, now faces an uncertain future. With fresh midfield signings on the horizon, he could find himself further down the pecking order.
Zwane’s representatives are set to meet with Chiefs management to get clarity on his role. They want to know if the 23-year-old still fits into Nabi’s long-term plans or if a loan move might be better for his development.
Rivals like AmaZulu are watching closely
As Zwane’s situation remains unclear, rival clubs are taking notice. Reports suggest AmaZulu is among those interested in the young midfielder.
“I don’t know about any AmaZulu interest but the boy needs game time. From where I stand now, he isn’t going anywhere,” a source close to Zwane told this publication.
Despite the speculation, Zwane is determined to fight for his spot at Chiefs. But his camp also knows that another season with limited playing time could stall his growth at this crucial stage of his career.
