Big Transfer Twist At Naturena: Kaizer Chiefs Reportedly Eye Former PSL Midfielder Jamie Webber

Former Sekhukhune Star Jamie Webber Is Now a Free Agent; Kaizer Chiefs May Surprise Them With A Move To Sign ThemAfter South African midfielder Jamie Webber left American club FC Tulsa, Kaizer Chiefs may have an intriguing chance to bolster their midfield during the January transfer window.Two years after finishing his stint in the USL Championship, the 28-year-old former Bafana Bafana midfielder formally announced his departure from the US-based club.

He is now free to negotiate with any club that shows interest in him since his contract has expired.At Naturena, the name Webber is not completely unknown, which is quite interesting. The midfielder’s availability may cause Amakhosi to reevaluate a player with Premier Soccer League and international experience; Kaizer Chiefs have been linked to him in the past.The Chiefs may have initiated contract talks or made an offer, but neither of those things has been officially confirmed as of yet.As a result of his 66 appearances (in all competitions), eight goals, and twelve assists, Webber has decided to leave FC Tulsa.

Those stats show that the midfielder was useful in more ways than one during his time in the United States.With 28 starts, 2,430 minutes played, three goals, and four assists in his last season, he was a solid performer.The footballer, who was born in Cape Town, also had success with FC Tulsa, where he was a key player in the team’s Western Conference championship.

In his statement of departure, Webber thanked the club and its fans, saying that he had grown as a person and a footballer thanks to their support.Now everyone is talking about where he’s going next.A number of people have suggested that Kaizer Chiefs reevaluate their interest in Webber, mainly due to his versatility and technical skill set in the midfield.

He has versatility as a number eight and a central midfielder, and his background in attacking midfield gives him more options in terms of strategy.Amakhosi may find these traits useful as they seek to boost their team’s imagination, ball movement, and battle for starting positions.It also helps that Webber has worked in South Africa before. Became a member of Sekhukhune United in July 2023 after playing for SuperSport United for a number of seasons.

He left for the United States in April 2025 after making 36 appearances for Sekhukhune, where he scored five goals and assisted on five more.He may find it easier to return to the Betway Premiership than to embark on another foreign adventure, thanks to his familiarity with South African football.There will be competition for Webber’s midfield spot if the Chiefs sign him.Competitors for starting opportunities in the midfield include Lebohang Maboe, Sphesihle Ndlovu, Samkelo Zwane, Sibongiseni Mthethwa, and others.

However, a team can always use some healthy competition, especially when they’re trying to assemble a midfield that can dominate games against formidable opponents.At this time, Webber’s availability has been confirmed, but the interest from Kaizer Chiefs is still conjectural.Neither the alleged R6 million market valuation nor the assertion that he scored 21 goals in 20 games have been verified by any credible source. He has 66 games played for FC Tulsa, scoring eight goals and assisting on twelve more.Amakhosi may have a chance to shine in January if the club sees potential in his versatility and experience and decides to bring him on board.
