According to Kickoff, Karim Kimvuidi is being trailed by a number of PSL clubs, notably the big three. Talk of a R15 million price tag has also started. Relegated Maritzburg United seem to be resigned to losing their star player, but they’ll want to extract the biggest fee possible.

KIMVUIDI IS HOT PSL PROPERTY
The 21-year-old Maritzburg United man is one of the more flamboyant and entertaining playmakers in Mzansi at the moment. He has his entire career ahead of him. Four assists in 29 league appearances last term wasn’t a sensational return, but he’s certainly got the quality to get fans out of their seats. Kimvuidi’s dribbling ability is a standout feature of his game, but his skills would be best utilized and showcased in the central number 10 role, rather than in wide attacking areas.
