Four Kaizer Chiefs starlets are linked with a possible exit from the club, as the 2025-2026 league season edges closer.
Over the last couple of years, the Naturena-based club has seen a number of players from the club’s development structures leave the club after good performances in the reserve team.
This transfer window, the club has seen two of the players that have graduated from the club’s development structures leave, as Mduduzi Mdantsane and Sabelo Radebe parted ways Amakhosi.
With the transfer window more than a month from closing, a couple of Amakhosi youngsters are linked with a possible exit from the club.
The quartert of Mduduzi Shabalala, Samkelo Zwane, Manqoba Ozoemena, and Xolani Cossa are likely to see themselves playing outside Naturena this season.
While Shabalala is expected to be a part of Nasreddine Nabi’s side this season, he is expected to see fewer minutes than he did last season, the arrivals of Ethan Chislett and change of system will affect his playing time.
His teammate, Zwane, is expected to leave the club on loan this window, as he moved down even further in the pecking order in the club’s middlefield after the signing of Siphesihle Ndlovu and the promotion of Thulani Mabaso.
Zwane is likely to be followed by Cossa and Ozoemena out of the club, as the duo are being looked at by TS Galaxy and AmaZulu FC, respectively.
Cossa is seen as a direct replacement of Khulumani Ndamane, who is set to join Sundowns by Galaxy, while Usuthu led by former Chiefs development and seni9r team head coach, Arthur Zwane, see Ozoemena as a player that can be a perfect fit for their system.
