Overview
- Kaizer Chiefs announced five signings in late July, with local outlets reporting on Friday, July 31 that Stellies winger Langelihle Phili is set to join the club.
- Sources say the Phili deal would include striker Ashley Du Preez and defender Given Msimango being offered to Stellenbosch as part of a swap plus a cash payment.
- The club has already completed permanent signing Khanyisa Mayo and added goalkeeper Renaldo Leaner, defender Thabo Moloisane and midfielder Adolf Mtasingwa.
- Stellenbosch coach Gavin Hunt cautioned that contractual matters remain to be finalised, so the Phili move is widely reported as imminent but not yet fully completed.
- Chiefs still have a known gap at left‑back and are linked to further attacking targets, a push that could change first‑team roles and affect the players being used as transfer currency.
