PSL stars who Kaizer Chiefs failed to sign

1. Iqraam Rayners

Rayners was one of the best strikers in the PSL last season while with Stellenbosch and was linked with different top sides this summer, including clubs abroad.

The South African international found the back of the net 17 times in all competitions for the Maroons. Still, the Glamour Boys could not poach the striker's signature who ended up joining their PSL rivals Mamelodi Sundowns.

Amakhosi are still in the transfer market, seeking a new striker after missing out on the Bafana Bafana star this summer.

2. Elias Mokwana

Mokwana is another player on the list that Kaizer Chiefs missed out on his signing this summer despite the Soweto giants being the favourites to land him from Sekhukhune United.

The Bafana Bafana star decided to move abroad and join Tunisian side Esperance rather than stay in the South African league, with Amakhosi reportedly meeting his valuation.

Esperance's qualification for the CAF Champions League and Kaizer Chiefs missing out might be why the forward decided to snub Nabi's side.

3. Khanyisa Mayo

Mayo also took the same part as Mokwana by moving to North Africa this summer. The South African forward was tipped to join Chiefs from Cape Town City but opted to move to CR Belouizdad in Algeria.

The PSL giants' sporting director, Kaizer Motaung Jr., confirmed that the club narrowly missed out on Mayo's signing despite meeting City's asking price of R20 million for the player.

4. Oswin Appollis

Kaizer Chiefs are now in the same situation they found themselves with Mokwana and Mayo, as Appollis' signing is becoming difficult for the Soweto-based side.

The 22-year-old is also linked with a move to North Africa as Algerian heavyweights MC Algers are heavily linked with the South African forward.
