Kaizer Chiefs could be set for another interesting development in the squad, with coach Fernando Da Cruz reportedly keen to bring experienced midfielder Yusuf Maart into his plans on a loan deal.
The coach is believed to be impressed by what Maart can offer and wants the midfielder to become part of his squad. Discussions have reportedly already taken place, with Da Cruz confirming that he would welcome the opportunity to work with the player.
“I would love to see him on my team. That’s the reason I spoke with Junior. We both agreed that soon he’s coming. We are still finalising the deal for it to be sealed.”
The potential move would add another layer of experience and competition to the midfield. Maart has previously established himself as a player capable of operating under pressure, while his understanding of South African football could make the transition relatively straightforward.
For Da Cruz, the priority appears to be building a squad that can compete across multiple competitions. Bringing Maart in on loan would give the technical team another option without necessarily committing to a permanent transfer immediately.
The fact that discussions have already taken place will undoubtedly excite supporters, although nothing can be considered official until the remaining details are completed and the necessary agreements are signed.
If the deal is successfully concluded, Maart could soon find himself working under Da Cruz, with the coach seemingly convinced that the midfielder has a role to play in his plans.
For now, negotiations continue — but the message from Da Cruz is clear: he wants Yusuf Maart in his squad. 👀✌️
