Asenele Velebayi admits he needs to find goal-scoring form after slow start to Kaizer Chiefs career

Asenele Velebayi admits he needs to find goal-scoring form after slow start to Kaizer Chiefs career

The talented 23-year-old midfielder joined Amakhosi from Cape Town Spurs in August 2025 but has struggled for game-time.

He has played just five games in all competitons, and is yet to register a goal or an assist.

Velebayi has lofty ambitions though and hopes to be able to make more of an impact going forward.

Amakhosi are next in action against Magesi at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday.

Speaking ahead of the game, Velebayi said in the Sowetan: "I have individual goals that I've set for myself and there are also expectations from the coaches.

"At the moment I know that the stats are not on my side, to be honest..

"The goal that I've set for myself is to score more. I know I have been trying to create and play for the team more, but for me now I think it's about time I need to score goals."

The player added though that he is in the right environment to succeed, saying: “Naturena is a good environment, very welcoming. This is a very good environment to grow in.”
