Kaizer Chiefs are watching Sipho Mbule’s situation very closely, but will he stay or go? Let’s find out.
Star midfielder Mbule has put recent tensions behind him after settling issues with Sekhukhune United’s management. Determined to take control of his career, he now focuses on securing his future before the next season begins. His situation became uncertain after a heated exchange with a technical team member, which created friction within the club. However, a crucial meeting with Sekhukhune’s top executives cleared the air, allowing Mbule to move forward without distractions.
Tinkler keen on Mbule amid Chiefs interest
Sekhukhune United head coach Eric Tinkler, who signed a two-year and three-month contract, is a known admirer of Mbule. Sources indicate that Tinkler wants the talented midfielder to remain at the club beyond this season. However, Mbule’s fate ultimately depends on Mamelodi Sundowns, his parent club.
Mbule is currently on loan from Sundowns, and his contract with the Premiership champions expires at the end of June. Sundowns hold an option to extend his deal, but they must make a decision by the end of May.
While Sekhukhune wants to keep Mbule, Kaizer Chiefs have not ruled out a move for the former SuperSport United playmaker. Chiefs are closely monitoring his situation, but any potential transfer hinges on Sundowns’ decision. If Sundowns exercise their option, Chiefs would need to negotiate a transfer fee to bring Mbule to Amakhosi.
Mbule’s impact this season
At 26, Mbule continues to showcase his talent and influence at Sekhukhune United. He has played 15 matches across all competitions, delivering two goals and two assists. His ability to control the midfield, break through defenses, and create scoring opportunities makes him a valuable asset. His vision and passing accuracy have strengthened Sekhukhune’s attacking plays, while his defensive contributions have added stability in critical moments.
With the transfer window approaching, the battle for Mbule’s signature is heating up. Will he stay at Sekhukhune, return to Sundowns, or make a high-profile move to Kaizer Chiefs? The coming weeks will be crucial in determining his next step. Especially leading up to the next transfer window.
