Bafana Bafana star Mihlali Mayambela breaks silence on Kaizer Chiefs links - 'There was talks between me and the Sporting Director'

Cyprus-based Bafana Bafana winger Mihlali Mayambela has confirmed holding transfer talks with Kaizer Chiefs.

The Aris Limassol star's revelations come as the Soweto giants have been in the hunt for quality players to challenge Mamelodi Sundowns' dominance of local football, as well as participation in the CAF Confederation Cup.

“There was a conversation. You know the club is moving in a different direction, you can see the amount of signings they’ve made now," Mayambela told Soccerbeat.

"So, they are busy trying to put a strong team, but also I’m in a place where I don’t need to move if I don’t have to. I’m here, playing every game, I have a big role in my team to play. I’m being respected here.

"But there is an interest from Chiefs and there was talks between me and the Sporting Director. He’s doing his job; he’s trying to build a good squad to bring back the glory days," added the Bafana Bafana star. 

“Being at Chiefs is my, maybe this guys’ dream [points to Mark Mayambela]. I don’t know if it will happen, [or rather] will it happen? Maybe I can say yes more than a no – but I don’t know when, it doesn’t only depend on me. 

“Because also where I am at now, I’ve always said they really need me and I need them also, it’s a matter of making things happen. But there was interest.”

Due to his profile of being a South Africa international, although he has dropped from being a regular starter, Mayambela fits the bill of the quality players Chiefs are looking for.

He has never played Premier Soccer League football before moving to Sweden as a 20-year-old in 2016.

Since then, he has had stints in Portugal, Israel, and now Cyprus.

The current transfer window is still open, and there is still time for Mayambela to make a move from Cyprus, if he decides so.

It would not be surprising to see Chiefs make an offer to the player.
