Itumeleng Khune might leave Kaizer Chiefs. “I don’t know, what are you saying? But who has been number-one this season? Let’s not talk about other players,” responded Middendorp.
“We have a number-one goalkeeper, who is performing week-in and week-out, who is the national team goalkeeper for Nigeria, having done a fantastic job in AFCON.
“Guys, we are looking into things, the performances we are getting week in and week out, the record is there as reference. What you are saying is a little bit far out of the frame.”
Well, a lot has gone wrong in the recent years for the South African legend.
It started off from an injury after which he enjoyed a long spell at the bench with Daniel Akpeyi taking his position in front of the goal. This was a major drop in confidence for the Kaizer Chiefs number 1.
Khune was once the best goalkeeper in South Africa and had a major role in South African football as well. But gradually age started taking it’s toll on him. His form dipped & injuries made matters worse.
And Kaizer Chiefs is a team that is known for purchasing the best players for every position. With a new crop of young talented goalkeepers like Daniel Akpeyi Kaizer Chiefs have managed to replace Itumeleng Khune immediately if not permanently .
Actually Itumeleng Khune does not want to leave Kaizer Chiefs .He would like to retire at Amakhosi .Yeah, We all know that he is not having the best of his time at the pitch,but still he is their club captain . Things are changing day and night for Khune because the second goalkeeper Daniel is performing very well . This simply means Khune to be number one for Chiefs again it might be very difficult and that is the only thing which may force him to leave the club.
