Stellenbosch FC star and Bafana Bafana defender Basadien on Kaizer Chiefs links - 'It would obviously be nice to advance your career'

Kaizer Chiefs are undergoing a rebuilding phase under new head coach Nasreddine Nabi and have made several signings to restore past glories.

One player they've shown interest in is Stellenbosch defender and Bafana Bafana international Fawaaz Basadien.

Despite the rumours, Basadien remains committed to his current club and has maintained focus.

His ability to perform consistently amidst speculation highlights his professionalism.

Chiefs’ interest reflects his strong performances, but he remains loyal to his contract.

For now, Basadien aims to keep excelling at Stellies while the potential transfer remains in the background.

“You need to honour and value your contract and that is why it was easy for me to still perform,” Basadien said as reported by iDiski Times.

“I try to give my best every time I get to play and not worry too much about things that are outside of my control.

“It will obviously be nice to advance your career and to put yourself in a better financial situation.”

This season, the 28-year-old has made 22 appearances, scoring 5 goals and providing 4 assists—a remarkable output for a utility defender.

His versatility, playing both in defence and midfield, has made him an asset to Stellenbosch and a target for Chiefs.

With experience in the Caf Confederation Cup, Basadien continues to build a strong case for his value.

Keeping this level of consistency might secure his move to Naturena in the near future.

Stellenbosch faces Stade Malien at Loftus Versfeld Stadium this Sunday, aiming to reach the Caf Confederation Cup's last eight.

A win will mark a significant milestone in their continental journey.

Basadien will undoubtedly play a key role in their effort to secure victory.

The team remains focused on achieving success in both domestic and international competitions.
