Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly monitoring the situation of Orlando Pirates midfielder Kabelo Dlamini who has fallen down the pecking order under coach Abdeslam Ouaddou.

“Chiefs are interested in Kabelo Dlamini and they have been following his situation. At the moment it’s more about monitoring what happens because he is still a Pirates player, but the interest is there,” a source told Soccer Laduma.

“Kabelo knows about the interest and even his family is aware of it. His father is a big Chiefs supporter, so naturally there has been discussion around it. But Kabelo remains committed to Pirates and respects the club. He is not forcing anything.”

Moroccan giants set sights on Lilepo

According to FARPost, Chiefs forward Glody Lilepo is attracting interest from Moroccan giants AS FAR Rabat with his future a subject of speculation.

Lilepo sparked exit rumours when he posted a “bye-bye South Africa” message on Instagram last month and it is reported that he feels undervalued by Chiefs which could potentially open the door for other suitors such as AS FAR.
