Kaizer Chiefs news: Amakhosi’s old target set to return to PSL in 2025

Kaizer Chiefs target Thabo Cele could return to the Premier Soccer League (PSL) in 2025.

The 27-year-old is currently playing for Russia side Fakel Voronezh where he has made 14 appearances this season. According to Soccer Laduma, the midfielder wants to be closer to home.

““The 27-year-old is reportedly considering a return to the South African domestic scene in 2025,” said an insider.

“Sources close to the player suggest that after almost a decade away from home he wants to be closer to his family and his desire to rejoin the national team fold is driving this potential move back to the PSL with his last appearance coming in the COSAFA Cup in 2023. Although the exact club Cele will join remains unclear, there is a strong possibility he will make a move to the Betway Premiership next year,” the insider added.

In July, Soccer Laduma reported that Kaizer Chiefs were looking to reignite their interest in Thabo Cele. According to the source of the publication, Amakhosi have been following the Bafana Bafana midfielder for several years.

“They have been following him for almost three years now and the team’s scouts have been monitoring him and now he is back on Chiefs’ radar. Indications are that they have been talking to his representatives and the talks have been positive. “He will be like a replacement for Siyethemba Sithebe in the defensive midfield position. So it’s a opportunity that could happen in this window period,” said the source.

“He has shown interest of coming back home. No one really knows which club he would want to join but at the moment it’s Chiefs who are interested in him and this could give them an advantage to sign him since they are the ones who have been showing interest in him and also inquired about him,” added the second source.

The KwaMashu talented midfielder has spent his professional career overseas and it remains to be seen if he will join Kaizer Chiefs.
