Dutch clubs to swoop for Kaizer Chiefs target
Shandre Campbell is tantalising football scouts with his displays.
His form has not escaped the watchful eyes of European scouts, with two Dutch Eredivisie giants vying for his signature.
“Both Dutch clubs who are interested in the youngster have a good history with SuperSport United. You remember Kermit Erasmus and Kamohelo Mokotjo both played for these teams and they were from the youth development of SuperSport United? I think that’s the relationship which is influencing this interest as well. I can’t say it’s a done deal he is going to one of the teams or not but the interest is there for the young boy,” a source told Soccer Laduma.
“I think it will all go down to money issues if it happens that he goes because for now the club wants to keep all their young players and build a strong team that can compete again.
“And also there is one North African club interested in him as well. You know that club that played against SuperSport United in the CAF Confederation Cup from Libya, they are also interested in Campbell. They say they have been losing players without replacing them so this time around they want to make sure they keep them but if the money is good they would let him go as every team needs money to run the club. The interest will always be there but it all depends if they take action on them,” the source concluded.

“Sekhukhune United is making a real push for Makgalwa’s signature and they wanted to bring him on board during the January transfer window.
“But it looks like they won’t be able to get him in the upcoming window because Upington City values him a lot. Unless anything drastic happens but for now Makgalwa will remain at his club.”
Amazulu set to tie down former Kaizer Chiefs star
AmaZulu are said to be prepared to reward seasoned defender Ramahlwe Mphahlele with a new contract offer.
A source told Soccer Laduma: “The talks have been going on for some time now. If the player’s contract is ending in June the next year obviously they have to start talking early and that’s what the club did. It’s an initial one-year straight deal but with a one-year option. So if they agree on that it means he could be at the club until June 2026. They technical team believes in him and that’s why they are keeping him. It’s almost done as we speak.
“The other thing why they want to keep him is that management are looking at roles he would play post retirement. So it’s not just for now but for the future as well. He is a dedicated player and that plays to his advantage as well. His discipline is also an advantage for him as a player and that’s why this deal is important to both parties,” the source added .

“They want to keep him because of his experience and also leadership amongst the players. For now they are talking about another one-year but you never know what could happen at the end of the negotiations. It could be more.

Kaizer Chiefs coach happy with squad
Interim Kaizer Chiefs coach Cavin Johnson doesn’t need a squad refresh in January.
At least that is Johnson’s opinion.
“At the moment, I don’t want any player because I think that the time I’ve spent with them [players] is far too little,” said Johnson.
“If I can change players over two months, in fact, if there is any coach who can change players over two months, I will eat my hat.
“So yes, at the moment, there are some patterns that look like they work, but they are not working all the time. We need to make sure that it is repetition after repetition in order to make them work so that they can be better players.
“And I said this before, you join Chiefs as a good player, and as the coach, I should make you a better player. I’m not a magician, but we are working on it slowly.
“I would not say that I found the best combinations within the team as yet. I think they can be better,” added Johnson.

FARpost write: “AmaZulu FC, languishing in 10th place in the DStv Premiership and desperately seeking a reliable goalscorer, have reportedly set their sights on Mabasa. Usuthu’s struggles in front of goal are no secret, having netted a mere 11 goals in 15 matches so far this season.”

The Cape Town City man opened up about his ambitions recently.
“Like last season I’m currently one of the joint top goalscorers, which means I’m still in the race to compete and win the Golden Boot again, and this time I’m not sharing,” Mayo told KickOff.
“I want to be a solo winner and I want to be recognized amongst the best in the country. Yes, this season I did experience a slow start and it has to happen after coming back after pre-season.
“And the games were coming thick and fast because they were played back to back, you played three times in a space of seven days. But after getting quite a few rests, I managed to find my feet again. It was about finding that one goal that was going to open doors for more goals for me.
“What helped me is… I was patient, that’s what I emphasized to myself, even my Dad (South African legend Patrick Mayo) will attest that composure in the box, is one thing that no one can teach you.”
