- Reports suggest Kaizer Chiefs are keen on signing Orlando Pirates striker Zakhele Lepasa in the January transfer window.
- Coach Nasreddine Nabi recently admitted his team needs reinforcements, specifically a striker and winger.
- With the summer transfer window closed, the Soweto giants can't make any signings until January.
Listen up, soccer fans! Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly circling around Orlando Pirates striker Zakhele Lepasa, eyeing a potential deal during the winter transfer window. It's shaping up to be quite the drama in the world of South African football.
Lepasa, a talented South African forward, hasn't seen much action this season for Pirates. In fact, he hasn’t made an appearance in any official games yet. This lack of playing time could be the driving force behind his potential move to Kaizer Chiefs. Imagine the buzz if this deal goes through!
During the summer transfer window, Lepasa caught the attention of several Premier Soccer League (PSL) clubs, including SuperSport United and Chippa United. However, nothing materialized, and he stayed put with Pirates. But now, as the January window looms, things might change.

Why Kaizer Chiefs Wants Lepasa
Here's the scoop: according to a report by a South African publication, Kaizer Chiefs have their sights set on Lepasa for a possible swoop in January. But here's the catch—since the summer transfer window is now closed, they can't make any moves until the new year. Plus, Lepasa isn't a free agent; he's still under contract with Pirates. So, it’s going to take some serious negotiating to make this happen.
Despite rumors swirling about Lepasa possibly being left out of Jose Riveiro's plans, it seems he’s still part of the picture at Pirates. Yet, the Glamour Boys remain undeterred. Coach Nasreddine Nabi recently stated after their 2-1 victory over Marumo Gallants FC that his team desperately needs a striker and a winger. Unfortunately, they couldn't act on these needs before the transfer window slammed shut.
Insiders tell Kick Off that Lepasa is indeed one of the players on Kaizer Chiefs' wishlist. They may revisit the possibility of bringing him aboard when the January window opens. This could be the boost Amakhosi need to elevate their game.
"Chiefs are currently linked with a sensational swoop for Orlando Pirates striker Zakhele Lepasa," a source revealed to KickOff.
As we look ahead to the winter transfer window in 2024, Nabi will likely be busy pulling strings to finalize pending transfers, including the potential acquisition of Lepasa. If successful, this could be a game-changer for the Glamour Boys.

And with his hefty salary, you know he’s got big plans for the team. Fans are hopeful that this new chapter under Nabi's leadership will lead Kaizer Chiefs back to the top of the league standings.
