With the club clearly determined to shake off years of mediocrity, sources now confirm that Sipho Mbule is closer than ever to joining Amakhosi—a move that could finally give their midfield the creative spark it so desperately needs.

After a difficult spell at Mamelodi Sundowns, Mbule is reportedly keen to revive his career, and Kaizer Chiefs could offer him the perfect redemption arc.

Negotiations between Chiefs and Sundowns have intensified over the past week.

While financial details remain under wraps, it’s understood that Chiefs are willing to structure a deal involving add-ons and a reduced base salary to accommodate Mbule’s desire for a fresh start.

At 26, the midfielder still has years ahead of him, and Chiefs are hoping to capitalize before rival clubs re-enter the picture.

But midfield isn’t the only concern at Naturena.

In what’s being described as a high-priority mission, Chiefs are currently scouting a European striker to lead the line.

After years of inconsistent goal-scoring, the club wants a reliable finisher with international pedigree.

Club insiders say a shortlist has already been drawn up, featuring players from Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, and even the lower tiers of La Liga and Serie A.

The target profile: someone aged 24 to 29, with physical presence, good movement off the ball, and a proven scoring record.

While names haven’t been officially released, the club is believed to be eyeing strikers who are out of contract or looking for a career revival in a growing league like the PSL.

Chiefs have reportedly dispatched scouts to Spain and Hungary to monitor two specific targets.

And with the club now willing to break its conservative spending habits, fans could be in for a major surprise in the coming weeks.

Meanwhile, in a bombshell development, Bradley Grobler has parted ways with SuperSport United, ending a long and loyal chapter in the PSL.

The veteran striker, who has been with SuperSport since 2013, is now a free agent and weighing up his next move.

Chiefs were once linked with Grobler during the peak of his career, and while nothing is confirmed yet, whispers suggest that a short-term deal could still be on the table.

At 36, Grobler might not be a long-term solution, but his experience and goal instinct could be valuable off the bench—especially in a league where finishing remains a dying art.

Then there’s the curious case of Velebayi, the promising winger whose future is anything but clear.

Initially seen as a long-term prospect for Chiefs, his trajectory has been rocky at best.

Sources suggest that the technical team is divided on whether to loan him out, keep him as a squad option, or cut ties entirely.

The player himself is said to be frustrated by the lack of communication from the club, and his agents are now exploring options both locally and abroad.

With the transfer window moving fast, a decision needs to be made soon—or Chiefs risk losing another young talent to mismanagement.

Chiefs’ transfer activity this season is being closely watched by fans and rivals alike.

With Mako already signed, Human on the verge of joining, and a European striker hunt underway, the club is making louder statements than it has in years.

But as always, success won’t be measured by headlines—it’ll be measured by trophies.

The potential addition of Mbule could be game-changing.

Despite his fall from grace at Sundowns, his vision, ball control, and long-range passing remain top class when he’s at his best.

Chiefs are betting that a new environment and regular playtime could reignite his spark.

If the deal goes through, expect him to slot straight into midfield alongside Yusuf Maart and Siyethemba Sithebe, giving the team a new dimension.

Grobler’s exit from SuperSport also creates opportunities.

Whether Chiefs take a chance on him or not, the forward market is shifting fast—and competition is fierce.

Sundowns, Orlando Pirates, and even Stellenbosch are all beefing up their attacks.

Chiefs cannot afford to wait too long.

As for Velebayi, the club needs to make a clear call.

Letting him sit on the bench does neither side any good.

If he’s not in the club’s immediate plans, a strategic loan or even a sale could free up space and wages for more urgent targets.

With every passing hour, the drama deepens.

Chiefs are clearly in a do-or-die mode this window, and fans are right to expect more fireworks.

From Mbule’s redemption arc to the search for a European striker, this window could either make or break their next campaign.
