Chiefs fans want Titus, according to the tweet below:

According to a Briefly News source at Stellenbosch, the club is not concerned about the talks about Titus, whose teammate Fawaaz Basadien is also a transfer target for Chiefs.

The source said:

"There is a lot of talk going around, but as far as Stellies is concerned, there is nothing to worry about. It is not uncommon to see players talking to opposing coaches; it is something you see in matches all around the world, but it does not mean anything. Devin is a Stellies player, and the club is happy to have him part of the squad, while the player himself is more than happy here. People should not read anything into a small conversation."
