Kaizer Chiefs Transfer News: Amakhosi Linked With Mamelodi Sundowns Winger Thapelo Maseko
Kaizer Chiefs continue to be linked with a move for Mamelodi Sundowns winger Thapelo Maseko, as speculation over the South African international’s future gathers pace during the transfer window.
The 22-year-old has emerged as one of the most talked-about players on the market after reports suggested that Sundowns are open to allowing him to leave, either permanently or on loan, following his omission from the club’s pre-season tour.
Maseko’s Future Under the Spotlight
Maseko enjoyed a resurgence during his recent spell away from Chloorkop, impressing with his performances and rebuilding his reputation after limited opportunities at Sundowns. His displays have reportedly attracted interest from several clubs, with Kaizer Chiefs among those linked to the winger.
Recent reports indicate that Sundowns could be willing to sanction a move if a suitable offer is received, although no official confirmation of a transfer to Chiefs has been made.
Would Maseko Fit at Kaizer Chiefs?
Chiefs have been active in strengthening their squad ahead of the 2026/27 season, and Maseko’s pace, creativity and ability to play on either wing could provide another attacking dimension.
His direct style of play and experience at both club and international level would make him an attractive option as Amakhosi look to build a squad capable of challenging for major honours.
Transfer Still Awaiting Official Confirmation
While reports continue to link the player with a move to Naturena, there has been no official announcement from either Kaizer Chiefs or Mamelodi Sundowns confirming a deal.
For now, the situation remains one of the biggest transfer stories involving South African football, with supporters waiting to see where Maseko will continue his career.
Editorial Note
Thapelo Maseko has been strongly linked with Kaizer Chiefs following reports that Mamelodi Sundowns are prepared to consider his departure. However, as things stand, no official transfer has been confirmed by either club.
