Kaizer Chiefs are still keen on signing Salim Magoola from Richards Bay but they face competition from SuperSport.Chiefs were reportedly interested in signing Nigeria and Chippa goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali. However, the 27-year-old, who was a standout performer at Afcon with the Super Eagles, would fetch a transfer fee of over R35 Million. According to, Amakhosi are looking at the potential free transfer of Richards Bay keeper Salim Magoola.

“SuperSport United and Kaizer Chiefs are amongst the sides mulling over Salim Magoola. He could be available on a free transfer. Chiefs are looking to add an experienced stopper to their squad with Itumeleng Khune poised to retire. Magoola who has emerged as one of the leading performers in the league alongside Ronwen Williams and Stanley Nwabali has naturally attracted interest from Amakhosi” they said.
