News reaching the Siya crew, is that Kaizer Chiefs are believed to be looking at a Nigerian midfielder ahead of the new campaign.
With an overhaul expected at Naturena, indications are that Kingsley Michael, who is currently plying his trade for Austrian side, DSV Leoben, is understood to have landed on the radar of the Amakhosi management.

Siya sources have revealed that the 24-year-old national team star was spotted by scouts, with indications that the player is open to a move to South Africa.
Insiders have further indicated that a recommendation is understood to have been made to Chiefs, who are believed to be finalising their squad for the new campaign.
The Siya crew can reveal that discussions are imminent.
"At the moment, it will all just depend on the talks between the player representatives and the club. The scouts have done their due diligence in checking the player and the recruiters have watched his videos. He is actually a good player and that's why he has been part of the Nigerian national team," the source revealed to the Siya crew.
As previously reported by Soccer Laduma, Chiefs look set to release players to make way for new additions, and a second Siya source emphasizes this point.
"For the team to accommodate some new players, some will be let go. They are already looking at players like Tebogo Pontsane, Samkelo Zwane and others to be either loaned out or released so that they bring in new players in those areas and the Nigerian (Kingsley Michael) is one of the players on the wanted list by the club," the source added.
The Nigerian's contract with DSV Leoben came to an end on May 31, and as a free agent, is available sign with any potential suitor.
Michael had also featured for Bologna in Italy between 2018 and 2023.
Soccer Laduma contacted Chiefs for comment but there was no response at the time of publishing.
