Kaizer Chiefs eye experienced midfielder in squad overhaul, according to Soccer Laduma.
Chiefs are actively searching for midfield reinforcements, and 31-year-old Athini Jodwana has emerged as a potential target. The Durban City star has impressed Amakhosi scouts, who are closely tracking his performances in the Motsepe Foundation Championship.
Chiefs view Jodwana as key addition
Sources within the club confirm that Chiefs are seriously considering Jodwana as part of their squad revamp ahead of the next season. His contributions have been instrumental in Durban City’s promotion push, making him a valuable asset for any top-tier club.
“He is one of the local players that they have been monitoring,” a source revealed. “They are exploring all possibilities as they may not sign some of their initially preferred targets. But Jodwana is a very good midfielder with experience, having played for Chippa United before. While they have enquired about him, they are still finalizing their shopping list for next season, and he remains one of the options.”
Major squad reshuffle on the horizon
Chiefs are not only scouting new talent but also preparing to offload several players to balance the squad and manage salary expenditures effectively. This restructuring could see the departure of key names as the club realigns its roster.
“As much as they are looking at bringing in new players, they are also planning to release a number of players in both defence and attack,” the source stated. “It’s not just about reducing squad numbers but also cutting down on salaries. They want to balance outgoings and incomings, which is why some players will be released when new ones are signed.”
Mduduzi Mdantsane, Tebogo Potsane, and Sabelo Radebe are among the players who might be shown the exit door. Chiefs are keen on making strategic moves to ensure a stronger, more balanced squad heading into the new season.
Jodwana’s impressive season
Jodwana has been a standout performer for Durban City this season, featuring prominently in their campaign. His consistent displays have caught the attention of multiple clubs, but Chiefs seem to be leading the race for his signature.
With a squad overhaul in motion, all eyes are on Amakhosi’s next moves in the transfer market. Will Jodwana be the midfield anchor they need? Stay tuned for the latest updates on Kaizer Chiefs’ transfer activity.
