Kaizer Chiefs have joined other PSL teams chasing the signature of Ajax Cape Town midfielder Clifford Ngobeni.
Amakhosi interest in Ngobeni became apparent soon after both Orlando Pirates and Bloemfontein Celtic made offers to the Urban Warriors last week to sign the player ahead of next season.
Speaking to KickOff.com, Ajax CEO George Comitis says his club has already taken a final decision to sell the former Under-23 star.
"Everybody is interested in Clifford; Chiefs, Pirates and Celtic are all interested.
"He will definitely be leaving Ajax Cape Town and we will know by Friday which team he will be joining for next season."

The story of the dynasty
1970 - 1980
By the year 1980, Kaizer Chiefs were 10 years old and had already bagged 19 cups, making their intentions known and commanding the respect they enjoy until this day in the South African football scene.
In the fall of 1981, the Phefeni Glamour Boys continued where they left off, defending the Castle League, BP Top eight and Champion of Champions, finishing the season with four cups as they went on to win the Mainstay Cup.
1980 - 1990
In the decade ending in 1990, Chiefs swept up 30 cups in a period of 10 years, hence being named the cup specialists, a title they have lived up to until this day. Kaizer Chiefs were unstoppable during in this decade, averaging three trophies a season.
1990 - 2000
As the new millennium hit the universe, the team’s trophy cabinet was already overflowing, hitting figures of 53 cups in total over a period of 30 years and showing no signs of slowing down, as 14 cups were collected in that decade alone.
2000 - 2010
Between the years 2000 and 2010, the team collected 19 trophies, taking the total number of cups won by the Phefeni club to 72, which is worth celebrating, especially in such a special year as 2010, where South Africa is hosting the first ever Fifa World Cup to be staged in Africa.
Among the highlights of the new millennium is that in 2002 Kaizer Chiefs were named the African Club of the Year at the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Awards and went on to beat the most successful team in the world, Manchester United, and the richest team in the world, Manchester City, in the same decade, during the Vodacom Challenge pre-season tournament.
