The 29-year-old player added to reveal that he is set to have a meeting with the club about renewing his deal or not.

A new report has now said Zungu’s contract with Amiens will not be extended. The club’s Sporting Director John Williams revealed the decision via Maligue2 this week.

“On the departure side precisely, Kader Bamba will not stay at the end of his loan. Yohan Thuram, Bongani Zungu, Matthieu Dossevi, Adama Diakhaby and Arnaud Lusamba will be out of contract and not extended,” Williams said via Maligue2.

Meanwhile, Zungu is expected to be offered an enticing contract by Kaizer Chiefs. However, Amakhosi are unlikely to be the only club calling “Ben 10’s” agent.

TOP TALENT: CHIEFS LINKED WITH THESE FOUR MIDFIELDERS

No club should ever target one player for a given position. So who else are Amakhosi looking at for the number six and eight positions?

The clubs’ central midfield needs attention, as urgent as the July-August 2022 transfer window. Why? Phathutshedzo Nange is yet to sparkle, Anthony Akumu seems like the pace of the PSL is just beyond him, while the jury is still out regarding Cole Alexander. Read the full story here.
