Kaizer Chiefs News Today: Sirino finds new home! Transfer updates and more

Latest Kaizer Chiefs news in the last 24 hours, including veteran star Gaston Sirino getting a new home after Amakhosi snub, on-loan midfielder set to remain with newly promoted Premier Soccer League team and more.

Sirino finds new home

Gaston Sirino looks set to be reunited with former Kaizer Chiefs co-coach Khalil Ben Youssef, with the Uruguayan playmaker closing in on a free transfer to Durban City, according to iDiski Times.

The 35-year-old left Naturena at the end of June after Amakhosi opted against renewing his contract, bringing an end to a two-year spell in Soweto that included a Nedbank Cup triumph but was ultimately hampered by injuries and inconsistent game time.

Sirino agreed terms with the KwaZulu-Natal outfit, with the player already in Durban ready to start afresh and add much-needed experience to their squad heading into the CAF Confederation Cup next season.

The move represents a reunion for Sirino and Ben Youssef, who worked together during their time at Chiefs before the coach made the switch to Durban City earlier this year.

Kruger to retain Chiefs midfielder?

Mpumalanga side Kruger United will seemingly keep Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Vicky Mkhawana for another season.

Soccer Laduma has been informed that the 20-year-old is set to spend another 12 months on loan with the Village Boys.

Mkhawana was instrumental in Kruger’s charge as they won promotion from the Motsepe Foundation Championship to South Africa’s top-flight.

Touted as one of the future stars, Mkhawana would be eager to show what he can do in the Premiership.

“He’s staying at Kruger for another season on loan,” the publication reported.

Both clubs have declined to comment at this stage, but Mkhawana would get more game time at Kruger than at Chiefs.

The former South African U20 international is just one of a few players expected at the club on loan from other teams, including goalkeeper Fiacre Ntwari, also from Chiefs.
