Sipho Mbule to Kaizer Chiefs still a possibility? Here's the latest...
Kaizer Chiefs could still be in with a chance to sign free agent Sipho Mbule ahead of the new season. Mbule was released by Mamelodi Sundowns alongside Rivaldo Coetzee as soon as the previous campaign ended. And several media houses have consistently linked the troubled midfielder with a possible move to Chiefs. However, while Mbule was offered to Chiefs by his agent Mike Makaab, the Soweto giants have had to make up their minds. Now, according to UnplayableZA, Chiefs are threading carefully in their consideration for Mbule. Nonetheless, Mbule to Chiefs remains a possibility with the publication's source claiming ' it's still possible '. Mbule spent the better part of last season on loan at Sekhukhune United but his stint was cut short due to ill-discipline. Sipho Mbule training with Mamelodi Sundowns at the Chloorkop base.

Sundowns transfer list: Three out, mass exodus expected
Mamelodi Sundowns are expected to beef up their squad immediately after returning from the FIFA Club World Cup tournament. The Brazilians had to go to this global showpiece in the US without making any new signings. Nonetheless, they have already let three players go without hesitation, and the first two were Sipho Mbule and Rivaldo Coetzee. Mbule had returned earlier than expected from his loan spell with Sekhukhune United over alleged ill-discipline. Coetzee, on the other hand, struggled for regular game time due to a number of factors, including injuries. The third player released by Sundowns was none other than Lucas Suarez who came in highly rated in January. The Argentine defender was on a six-month loan deal from Talleres de Córdoba with an option to purchase. However, Suarez failed to adapt to the Sundowns style of play and was often beaten for pace by opposition strikers. Now, a mass exodus of players is expected at Sundowns with coach Miguel Cardoso likely to bring in players of his choice. Apart from those who were loaned out, the likes of Terrence Mashego, Matias Esquivel, Kobamelo Kodisang, Kegan Johannes, and Thapelo Maseko could leave Chloorkop.

Mbule could be good for Chiefs, but must change his ways: ‘Disco' Makua
Would it be worthwhile for Kaizer Chiefs to sign Sipho Mbule despite his well-known off-field troubles? After his agent Mike Makaab publicly declared he had offered the troublesome playmaker to Chiefs, Amakhosi midfield legend Frank 'Disco' Makua endorsed the possible recruitment, but warned the wayward star will have to change his behaviour. Mbule's off-field misdemeanours have been well-documented since he emerged at SuperSport United, with Sekhukhune United the latest club to reject him after Mamelodi Sundowns dispatched him there on loan. The 27-year-old midfielder is without a club after Downs opted not to renew his contract, prompting Makaab, in a bizarre social media post, to declare the talented but sometimes wayward midfielder had been 'offered to Chiefs'.
