Kaizer Chiefs Sporting Director Kaizer Motaung Jr has explained why the club failed to sign some of the players they were linked to.

Amakhosi boss has given clarity on why the club failed to sign the likes of Fawaaz Basadien, Riaan Hanamub and Oswin Appollis. The Soweto giants were also rumoured to be interested in Elias Mokwana and Khanyisa Mayo.

Last week, Motaung Jr admitted that the club were close to signing Mayo but the player signed with CR Belouizdad hours before Kaizer Chiefs tabled an offer.

“There was definitely serious interest and I think we also must credit Basia(Mayo’s agent), for how professional she handled the whole situation. How transparent she was also,” Motaung said as per iDiski Times.

“When Basia came into the picture we made our intentions known, and I think we did just miss it by a couple of hours. Because we had reverted back and finally found a way forward to make the deal happen financially.

“I think the deal in Algeria had just been signed. [But] we met their asking price,” he said.

Motaung Jr admitted that Kaizer Chiefs were also interested in AmaZulu left-back Riaan Hanamub.

“He’s done tremendously well; I don’t think we’re the only club that looked at him. Pirates were interested,” he told Robert Marawa on 947.

“He was a standout performer for AmaZulu. But he’s extended his contract at AmaZulu, and we wanna wish him all the best.”

Kaizer Chiefs are still looking to sign more players before the transfer window closes. So far, the Soweto giants have brought in seven players.
