Chiefs chase Khuzwayo

Kaizer Chiefs interested in signing goalkeeper Nhlanhla Khuzwayo from AmaZulu

Posted: 22 May 2012 Time: 12:37 pm

Kaizer Chiefs are interested in signing former national Under-23 goalkeeper Nhlanhla Khuzwayo as they seek to find a new cover for first choice Itumeleng Khune.  

Khuzwayo (22) has been in sublime form for First Division club Thanda Royal Zulu where he is on loan from AmaZulu, only playing just four games last season.    With Chiefs due to release two of the four keepers they have already started pressing hard for solid cover for Khune and have identified Khuzwayo.   Chiefs traditionally prefer to have four keepers in their books.   KickOff.com has found out that negotiations are already in progress between Chiefs and AmaZulu.   Khuzwayo still has another two years remaining on his contract with Usuthu but the club will let him go to any club that wants him as his chances of playing at the Durban club are slim with Tapuwa Kapini the established first choice.        Peter O'Connor – the general manager at AmaZulu confirms that they have been approached by Chiefs regarding Khuzwayo and discussions are in progress.   “Chiefs have shown interest in Khuzwayo and we are in discussions with them because despite being on loan at Thanda he still has a running contract with us. Reality is that it will be difficult for Khuzwayo to be the first choice in the next two years as Kapini has done tremendously well,” says O'Connor.   Khuzwayo - who played for the national Under-23 squad last year - will complete the next month of his loan at Thanda playing in the Promotion Play-Offs where the Richards Bay club has Santos and Chippa United to deal with.    Chiefs had amateur club Ethekwini Coastal's goalkeeper Celi Ndwandwe on trial last week while they also had Carl Bauerrichter trying his luck last year.

Well any1 who knows soccer will know Chiefs needs a goalkeeper. With Bartman ageeing and Metsimetsi out of sort we definately need 3rd keeper.

I want 2 believe there will be lot of unveiling. Its gud wen this editors don't know who will be signed by Chiefs.

In our goal keeping department we never needed to sign someone who is known. We take no name brands and turn them into household names. Even Feelosopher can go train there for six months and become Bafana's second in command. Our shopping trolley looks a bit lean though are we on a diet or should I wait till we get to the till counter?

They think one day the face of football will change and FIFA will allow four goalkeepers in the field of play. Why can't they turn this club into a netball one??

Hey wena DickOff, we don't care about these "updates" or "hot off the press" news about meaningless matters.

What we want to know is what is the latest on the Champs' city Trophy Parade going on in Jozi!!! If this was Chimps, YOU would've been splashing the latest pics on this site by now! Why starve us off our glory? Argh sies maan.

VV gets fired and you guys go for a full week d.i.c.k riding around chimps issues as if the world was coming to an end!

Hai seriously now, start being pro-active!!!!! Mickey Modisane stressed this a few months ago! Kanti yini ngani. Mdlwembe journos of DickOff!!!!

Last season we signed an Amidu (whom we never saw play). Kanti when are we venturing into the market for real and ruffle some feathers (buy gud players out of their contracts) if need be. Point is; we had a nigtmare of a season. We are taking too long to sign up players, by the time Baxter/Bobby make up thier minds, there'll be crumbs left in the market. let's be ruthless and make our intentions clear.

I'm with you Khosi lami there, we should beef up our strikers , maybe 2 deadly strikers..e.g Mphela and maybe noManqele .

I think we need brilliant midfielders not lemiquba egcwele eNaturena.

Bobby is busy ngama defenders, aboGaxa nabo-Morgan Goud,Mathoho......I mean really now we're not that bad in defence but striking force is lousy

@Feelosopher: I feel for u my man really. Chiefs must be joking. If Sundowns were able to sign Brian baloyi why can't Chiefs sign Wayne Sunderland? They are taking fans for a ride. Remember what Franklyn Cale did to Kabelo Metsimetsi in the MTN 8 Semis at Orlando Stadium? Scoring a grass-cutter from the centre line.
