Hubert Gyau: Kaizer Chiefs to Battle Two European Clubs for the Signing of Young Midfielder

• Kaizer Chiefs are ready to battle two European clubs for the signing of a talented young midfielder in the summer transfer window
• The Betway Premiership giants are working on bolstering their first-team squad in the summer ahead of the 2026-27 season
• The Glamour Boys also have another African club to worry about, as they are also interested in signing the 20-year-old midfielder

Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly set to battle with two European clubs for the signature of 20-year-old midfielder Hubert Gyau, but the full details surrounding the situation remain unclear.

The Premier Soccer League giants were not active during the January window as they only brought in Xhosa Manyana on loan from a team in the lower division. In comparison to Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates, the Soweto giants had a quiet window with the Brazilians signing Monnapule Saleng from the Buccaneers, Brayan Leon from South America, and Khulumani Ndamane from TS Galaxy.

The quiet January window means the Glamour Boys would go all out during the 2026 summer transfer window and are already tracking some players.

Kaizer Chiefs eyeing Ghanaian midfielder

According to reports, Kaizer Chiefs are monitoring Gyau's progress and are interested in making a move for him during the summer transfer window.

The Glamour Boys are not the only football club keeping tabs on the Ghanaian youngster, as two European sides, FC Midtjylland and Randers FC, along with Tanzanian side Azam FC, are also monitoring the 20-year-old.

Gyau, who is contracted to Ghanaian club Asante Kotoko, has netted four goals in 21 league matches this season. The player is represented by Prosport International, whose CEO, Mike Makaab, has downplayed suggestions of any formal negotiations.

Makaab downplays transfer rumours on Gyau

Makaab clarified that, to his knowledge, no club has officially approached them regarding Gyau’s services amid talks about Kaizer Chiefs' interest and other teams.

The top South African football agent confirmed that the young midfielder just joined his agency company and can't confirm if reports claiming Amakhosi's interest in his client are true or false.

“To be honest, we haven’t received any formal enquiry from any club about Hubert. We only recently signed him, so I’m not in a position to confirm whether the reports are accurate or not,” Makaab explained.

He further stated that if there is genuine interest, it may have been directed to Asante Kotoko rather than the agency, although he could not confirm that either.

“If there is interest, perhaps Chiefs have engaged Asante directly, but I cannot verify that. We’ve just brought the player on board and we don’t operate by signing someone and immediately putting him on the market. We must first assess his contractual position, and we are fully aware that he remains on a long-term deal with Asante Kotoko, which we respect,” Makaab added.

Kaze explains Chiefs’ quiet January transfer window

Briefly News also reported that Coach Cedric Kaze explained why Kaizer Chiefs were relatively quiet during the January transfer window.

The Glamour Boys made only one signing, which is in no way comparable to the transfer dealings of their rivals, Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates.
