Five things to expect in the world of Kaizer Chiefs this week
Loads more transfer rumours
What would a week in South Africa be without rumours linking Chiefs to every single good player in the country? With Siyabonga Ngezana out the door, perhaps the club might intensify their search for another utility defender to provide depth. Separating the fact from the fiction is the main challenge these days.

Transfer disappointment
With Katlego Otladisa seemingly on his way to Orlando Pirates, the Glamour Boys could also be deflated by news that Pitso Mosimane is eyeing up a move for Thulani Serero.
