Window shopping: 10 likely bargains

07 June 2016 - 09:45 By NICK SAID

The transfer window opens at the end of the month and there are a host of players who will be targeting a move away. Here are 10 players who are likely on the lookout .Phumelele 'Ace' Bhengu (Supersport United): Bhengu scored 22 goals in the National First Division for Thanda Royal Zulu the season before going to Supersport United. But after just four substitute appearances, it is clear he is not in the plans of coach Stuart Baxter. There is talk Bloemfontein Celtic want him.Justice Chabalala (Free State Stars): Both Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates have been sniffing around the young defender and Chabalala knows that if he is to make it into Bafana Bafana, a bigger club is needed.Rheece Evans (Mamelodi Sundowns): Since coming from Maritzburg United to Mamelodi Sundowns two seasons ago, he has only made two substitute appearances. This even though, at 25, he is in his prime.Jody February (Ajax Cape Town): February is a fine goalkeeper and will likely be a part of the Olympic Games squad.But he is behind both Brandon Peterson and Anssi Jaakkola in the pecking order at Ajax, and is doubtlessly tired of the bench.Samuel Julies (Mamelodi Sundowns): Julies is a talented 22-year-old midfielder but he has failed to advance at Chloorkop despite a number of successful loan spells elsewhere. He would be a regular starter at many other PSL teams.Charlton Mashumba (Jomo Cosmos): The Zimbabwean forward may not have had his best season but he is too good for the National First Division and the time is now for Jomo Sono to cash in on what is his prized asset.Tebogo Moerane (BidVest Wits): Moerane is a regular in the national Under-23 side and Olympics-bound but did not play at all in the PSL for Wits last season.Evans Rusike (Maritzburg United): Should Rusike stay at Maritzburg next season, it is unlikely that he will be involved in another relegation battle.But he also showed in the closing months of the campaign that his pace and eye for goal means he can compete at a higher level than what the KwaZulu-Natal club can offer.Wayne Sandilands (Mamelodi Sundowns): Sandilands made four appearances for Sundowns last season but in a squad that also contains seasoned internationals Dennis Onyango and Kennedy Mweene, it has been a struggle.Siyanda Xulu (Kaizer Chiefs): This may be stating the obvious, but while Steve Komphela remains in charge at Naturena, there appears to be no future there for Xulu. Now 24, he risks spending the next season in the reserves if he can't find a move and for a player of his profile that would be career-limiting, even on a handsome salary at Chiefs.He could wait and see if Komphela goes. - TMG Digital..
