A source said a few Ajax players have already been contacted by their agents about their future if the club go down.
“There is talk that Kaizer Chiefs are eyeing goalkeeper Jody February (below) and defender Mosa Lebusa. There are other teams who have been asking around about other players at the club,” said the source.

Meanwhile, Phakaaathi understands that Ajax Cape Town are prepared to go to any lengths possible in the courtroom to ensure that they are not relegated from the Absa Premiership.
The South Gauteng High Court last week dismissed their attempt to interdict the promotion/relegation play-offs.
They have, in the meantime, still asked for an urgent review of the decision by PSL arbitrator William Mokhari, that saw them relegated from the Premiership, after being docked points for fielding striker Tendai Ndoro, who was not eligible to play under Fifa rules.
Ajax owner and billionaire businessman Ari Efstathiou is preparing to take the matter as far as the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland, if needs be.
