Kaizer Chiefs monitoring Ghanaian midfielder
According to Soccer Laduma, Danish clubs Midtjylland and Randers, as well as Tanzanian side Azam, are monitoring 20-year-old Ghanaian midfielder Hubert Gyau. He’s on the books of Asanta Katoko and has scored four times in 21 league appearances this term. He’s contracted to Prosport International, and CEO agent Mike Makaab says they have not had any official approaches from any club as far as he knows. Meanwhile, Khanyisa Mayo is on the way out.
