Transfer market activity surrounding Siphesihle Ndlovu is currently intense, with multiple sources confirming that the 28-year-old SuperSport United midfielder is on the verge of signing with Kaizer Chiefs. According to recent reports, Ndlovu is in Naturena for negotiations, and his contract is expected to be finalized imminently[1]. The transfer comes after Ndlovu’s impactful performances at SuperSport United, where he joined in 2023 from Orlando Pirates and made 78 appearances, scoring three goals and providing three assists.
The potential move aligns with Kaizer Chiefs’ strategy to strengthen their squad ahead of the 2025/26 season under new coach Nasreddine Nabi. Chiefs reportedly hope to complete the deal before their pre-season tour in Europe, with Ndlovu expected to offer valuable midfield depth thanks to his work rate and versatility[5]. Negotiations between Chiefs and SuperSport United have advanced significantly, though final details are yet to be resolved[7]. SuperSport triggered the option to extend Ndlovu’s contract by a further year, so Chiefs will need to negotiate a transfer fee rather than secure him as a free agent[7].
Ndlovu’s agent, Jazzman Mahlakgane, has publicly stated that there has been “nothing happening” with regard to transfer talks as of late June, even as other sources suggest advanced negotiations are in progress. This discrepancy adds complexity to the situation, but the prevailing sentiment is that Ndlovu is eager for a fresh start if the clubs can agree on terms[3][7].
Ndlovu, born in 1996, is a fan favorite in his hometown Pietermaritzburg and has represented South Africa at the national level since 2018, including a COSAFA Cup appearance[2]. His current market value is estimated at €900,000[1] and he recently had one of his best seasons with SuperSport, missing only three matches and contributing both goals and assists[7].
