The PSL boasts some of Africa's most valuable sides
Seven PSL teams made the list of Africa's most valuable sides according to the tweet below:
Mamelodi Sundowns
Africa's most valuable side has been busy in the transfer window, adding Brazilian Arthur Sales, Kagan Johannes, Asekho Tiwani, and Kobamelo Kodisang, who arrived from Portugal.
While Sales represents a major coup for the PSL champions, fans have been excited to see Kodisang return to Mzansi after plying his trade in Portugal since 2018.
Orlando Pirates
Coming in at fourth, Orlando Pirates showed their determination to beat Sundowns to the PSL title next season by acquiring the services of highly-rated Angolan winger Gilberto.
Local Bucs fans have been excited by the winger's arrival, while during pre-season, he impressed his new teammates and coaches.
Kaizer Chiefs
After spending most of last season looking for a new coach, Kaizer Chiefs proved they are still valued in Africa after ranking seventh.
New Amakhosi boss Nasreddine Nabi has identified several positions to improve within the squad and made headlines by securing the services of former Sundowns star Gaston Sirino.
Stellenbosch FC
The Winelands side caught the attention of many local fans last season with a record-breaking unbeaten run that earned them a place in the CAF Confederation Cup.
While Stellies has had to fight rival interests for its stars, the club, ranked ninth, proved its ambitions by winning the race for sought-after striker Lehlogonolo Mojela.
Lamontville Golden Arrows
Twelfth-ranked Lamontville Golden Arrows has been rocked by the departure of head coach Steve Komphela, who joined Sundowns.
The Natal side, though, has still been able to recruit new faces, including former Pirates winger Menzi Masuku.
SuperSport United
New SuperSport signing Vincent Pule has already registered a goal this season after scoring in their 3-1 MTN8 quarter-final defeat to Pirates.
The team ranked 16th in Africa is still looking to balance out their squad while they have parted ways with teen sensation Shandre Campbell, who moved to Belgian side Club Brugge.
AmaZulu FC
The side ending the list, AmaZulu FC, have been linked with giving Thulani Serero a PSL return but has already welcomed Sifiso Ngobeni to the club.
The once-promising defender will look to resurrect his career after falling down the pecking order at Sundowns.
Kaizer Chiefs linked with Congolese striker
As Briefly News reported, Kaizer Chiefs are set to spend R14 million to secure the services of Congolese striker Fiston Mayele.
The 30-year-old striker, who currently plays for Egyptian side Pyramids FC, has attracted interest from Amakhosi, who are keen to add a new striker to their squad.
