Kaizer Chiefs or Orlando Pirates, who will sign one of the hottest strikers? Let’s find out.
Khanyi showcased his goal-scoring prowess yet again over the weekend, netting his 17th goal of the season as Hungry Lions secured a 2-0 victory over Leruma United at Mxolisi Dicky Jacobs Stadium. His consistent performances have placed him firmly on the radar of South Africa’s biggest clubs.
Pirates’ longstanding interest faces challenge
Pirates have been closely monitoring Khanyi since the first half of the season, eager to secure his signature before other clubs step in. Now, Kaizer Chiefs have officially enquired about his availability, setting the stage for a heated transfer battle between the two Soweto powerhouses.
Chiefs eye a solution to their scoring struggles
With Amakhosi struggling in front of goal, Khanyi’s goal-scoring ability could provide the attacking boost they desperately need. His lethal finishing and consistent performances make him an attractive target for a club looking to bolster its offensive firepower.
Meanwhile, Pirates, who have tracked Khanyi for months, are unlikely to back down. They remain determined to bring him on board before Chiefs can finalize a deal.
Hungry Lions hold firm as next window looms
Despite growing interest from PSL heavyweights, Hungry Lions are expected to stand firm on their valuation of the 24-year-old striker. However, with both Chiefs and Pirates circling, a deal could be sealed before the season concludes.
A source close to the situation revealed, “Enquiries have been made from Chiefs about Khanyi, and it looks like the player will definitely be leaving Hungry Lions at the end of the season. This is a player who has been on the radar of Pirates for some time, and Chiefs are now also showing interest.”
As the transfer window nears, the race for Khanyi’s signature intensifies. Will he don the black and gold of Chiefs, or will Pirates swoop in to secure their long-term target? Stay tuned as the saga unfolds.
