Kaizer Chiefs are other PSL club hoping to lure Zungu from French Ligue 2 outfit Amiens, where the 29-year-old has failed to make an impression.
Amakhosi know they now face stiff competition for Zungu’s services as Masandawana are usually able to ‘get their man’ due to their far superior budget.

It was with Mamelodi Sundowns that Zungu initially burst onto the scene between 2013 and 2016 and the Brazilians have now reportedly tabled a bid to secure his return.
Mamelodi Sundowns may face stiff opposition
“SABC Sport can reveal that Mamelodi Sundowns have officially launched an audacious bid in an attempt to lure midfielder Bongani Zungu back to Chloorkop,” the national outlet reported.
“According to information received by SABC Sport, the current DStv Premiership title holders have tabled an offer for the player and hope to get the deal over the line, although Zungu will not be in a hurry to make a decision.
“The midfielder has previously been linked with clubs in Spain, Turkey, and the Gulf region, even before his Amiens exit, so it is likely those conversations will pick up again, meaning that Sundowns face stiff competition in getting their target,” the report added.
