Kaizer Chiefs out-of-favour midfielder Sibongiseni Mthethwa could find himself outside of Naturena before the June transfer window closes.
According to The Citizen, former Stellenbosch midfielder Sibongile Mthethwa could be the latest player to leave Amakhosi.
Sibongiseni Mthethwa joined Amakhosi from Stellenbosch FC and was a regular at the club, making 29 appearances in all competitions in his first season with Chiefs.
But now word is that the former Stellenbosch FC midfielder does not fit into new coach Nasreddine Nabi’s system and Chiefs are considering sending him out on loan or selling him outright.
Mthethwa’s current contract with Chiefs ends in June 2026.
Phakaaathi has revealed that Nasreddine Nabi has been looking for a defensive midfielder that will suit his style and they have now found it in Njabulo Blom
On Tuesday, Chiefs announced that Blom has rejoined the club on a season-long loan from St Louis City of the United States.
“Njabulo is the kind of player that coach Nabi has been looking for. When he heard that he was available, he immediately asked the management to try and get him. And now he’s very excited to have him,” said the source.
“As for Ox (Sibongiseni Mthethwa), I don’t see him play that much this season. Remember, Chiefs have also signed Inácio Miguel, who can also play as a defensive midfielder, and he was recommended to the club by coach Nabi.”
The source further revealed that AmaZulu are keen to bring Mthethwa to Durban and are monitoring his situation at Chiefs.
“Yes, I heard that AmaZulu want him. They need a central midfielder after they released George Maluleka, but I’m not sure if he is also keen to move or if he wants to fight for his place at Chiefs,” concluded the source.
