Kaizer Chiefs have suffered another massive blow over their interest in signing Asanele Velebayi from Cape Town Spurs this summer.

Spurs will be playing in the South African Premier Division, which could result in them losing some players to Premier Soccer League sides.

The Urban Warriors already sold Rushwin Dortley to the Glamour Boys during this transfer window but are holding out on another player as they will only let him go for a reasonable price.

Kaizer Chiefs' offer for Bafana star rejected

According to iDiskiTimes, Cape Town Spurs have rejected this week's offer from Kaizer Chiefs for Velebayi.

The report from the South African media outlet claims a source at the club confirmed that Amakhosi's offer for the Bafana Bafana attacking midfielder didn't meet Spurs' asking price.

The Soweto giants might miss out on the 21-year-old signing, with PSL rivals Stellenbosch also showing interest in him.

Velebayi played 23 games in the DStv Premiership last campaign and would be a good addition to Nasreddine Nabi's team for the upcoming season.

"Velebayi is top class. Spurs can sell to Chiefs for R5 million and then boom next season, a team from abroad offers Chiefs R50 million for the player. That is where Spurs are coming from."
