Kaizer Chiefs secures two keepers in preparation for Khune exit
Kaizer Chiefs have rushed to secure two goalkeepers at a time when speculation about Itumeleng Khune’s exit only grows louder.
Last year, Kaizer Chiefs agreed to one final one-year deal with veteran keeper Itumeleng Khune, but after the Amakhosi icon was recently embroiled in an off-field indiscretion, it’s expected that this will be his final season with the club.

WILL ITUMELENG KHUNE PLAY AGAIN FOR AMAKHOSI?
Towards the end of last year, Kaizer Chiefs confirmed in a statement that Itumeleng Khune had been suspended for misconduct after apparently arriving at training smelling of alcohol.
The club have suggested they will seek to support the veteran keeper despite his misdemeanours, and it’s believed that he will be welcomed back to the club after the current Afcon break.
