Chiefs have been priced out of a move for Chippa United goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali and, according to a Soccer Laduma source, have shown an interest in Magoola.

The source said:

It's not the first time they have inquired about him, as they have been monitoring him as one of the potential options for replacing Itumeleng Khune as an experienced goalkeeper.”

The source added that SuperSport United and Orlando Pirates also want to sign the 28-year-old Ugandan.

Kaizer Chiefs fans took to social media to express their views about Magoola, with many feeling the club should rely on Bruce Bvuma and Brandon Petersen as its current options.

Mushin Ertugral says Itumeleng Khune nearly moved overseas

As reported by Briefly News, Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune nearly moved to Turkish side Sivasspor in 2010, but his height was an issue, according to former coach Mushin Ertugral.

Ertugral, who was working for the Turkish side then, said they were interested in Khune, but his physical appearance proved to be a stumbling block.
