Kaizer Chiefs interest in Young Africans 20 year old star addressed, according to FARPost.
Young Africans SC president Hersi Ally Said has firmly shut down any transfer rumours surrounding their star striker, Clement Mzize. Recent reports hinted at offers from prominent clubs like Kaizer Chiefs and Wydad Athletic Club for the forward. However, Said has decisively addressed these speculations.
Clement Mzize has become one of Africa’s hottest young talents, drawing attention from top clubs across the continent. Last season, Mzize netted an impressive 10 goals across all competitions. His performances, including crucial goals against Azam FC in the Community Shield final and Vital’O FC in the CAF Champions League, have only heightened his market value.
The striker’s previous association with Chiefs’ new coach Nasreddine Nabi has further fueled the transfer buzz, but Yanga SC is resolute in their stance.
Yanga SC’s firm stance on Mzize’s future
In a recent statement, Said made it clear that Yanga SC has no intention of parting ways with Mzize. “It’s not just Mzize. We’ve received offers for other players, too, but we can’t just keep selling our talent. We want to be competitive in Africa, and to do that, we need to keep our best players,” said Said.
He stressed that Yanga SC has not engaged in any transfer negotiations for Mzize, and the club has no plans to entertain such discussions. “If we wanted to sell the player, we could have negotiated with any club interested in him. We’ve never had any interest in selling the player.”
Recent contract extension reinforces commitment
Said further solidified the club’s commitment to Mzize by highlighting his recent contract extension. “The player has signed a new deal. He has a new contract with us?” Said noted, emphasising that Mzize’s future is firmly tied to Yanga SC.
Despite receiving a significant offer of US$450,000 (R7.9 million) from an unnamed club, Yanga SC remains focused on keeping Mzize as a crucial part of their squad for the upcoming season.
Direct conversations with Chiefs solidify position
Said also revealed that he has had a direct conversation with Kaizer Motaung Jr., the Sporting Director of Chiefs, to reinforce Yanga SC’s position on Mzize’s future. This direct communication underscores the club’s commitment to retaining their star player.
Young Africans SC’s leadership has unequivocally stated that Clement Mzize is not for sale and remains a key component of their plans moving forward.
