Kaizer Chiefs are set to lose one of their important players in the summer transfer window, as they finished third in the Betway Premiership in the just-concluded season.

The Soweto-based club finished without a trophy after their successful run in the Nedbank Cup last season under the management of Nasreddine Nabi. The Tunisian gaffer was sacked at the beginning of this campaign and was replaced by Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef.

The two co-coaches qualified the club for the CAF Confederation Cup next season, but there is uncertainty surrounding their futures at Naturena.

Lilepo delivered a solid season for Amakhosi, contributing 13 goal involvements in 37 appearances across all competitions. He scored one of the best goals in the Betway Premiership this campaign.

Overall, since arriving at the Glamoru Boys, he has played 56 matches, scoring 15 goals and adding five assists for the club. No official confirmation has been issued by Kaizer Chiefs regarding his possible exit.
