Sunday World looks at the players who are already setting tongues wagging.
Kaizer Chiefs (Franck Mbella Etouga)
Speculation mill has gone into overdrive regarding Amakhosi’s potential pursuit of Cameroonian forward Etouga and they are said to be preparing to break the bank to have the young star on their books in the coming season.
Chiefs are reported to have submitted an offer for the 20-year-old striker from Ghana’s Asante Kotoko, who scored 20 goals for his side this season.
Orlando Pirates (Bienvenu Eva Nga)
It is now weeks since Bucs were linked with the move for Chippa United forward Eva Nga. The Cameroonian player was initially linked with a move to Chiefs but his agent recently revealed that the negotiations did not bear fruit.
Mamelodi Sundowns
(Abubeker Nassir)
It’s a done deal! Masandawana concluded the deal as early January for the top 21-year-old striker from Ethiopia’s Coffee Sports Club.
Royal AM and Sekhukhune
(Daniel Akpeyi)
So, who will be the first to have former Chiefs keeper Akpeyi signing on the dotted line between Thwihli Thwahla and Babina Noko?
Amazulu (Riaan Hanamub) In another done deal, Nambian left-back Hanamub has reportedly already agreed to join Amazulu from Chippa United. Golden Arrows (Ryan Moon) Abafana Bes’thende have confirmed the signing of former Amakhosi striker Moon.
