Kaizer Chiefs in advanced talks to sign FC Tulsa’s Jamie Webber

Kaizer Chiefs are in advanced talks to sign FC Tulsa forward Jamie Webber, a move that would send one of the USL Championship’s most expensive incoming transfers back to South Africa and put Tulsa’s business model to the test. Webber arrived in April 2025 from Sekhukhune United for about $500,000, a club-record fee that ranked as the third-biggest transfer in USL Championship history.

The 28-year-old Cape Town native was born on 12 January 1998 and came to Tulsa with a strong track record in South Africa’s top flight. FC Tulsa said Webber had compiled 15 goals and 19 assists before making the move to Oklahoma, and noted that he had already logged 129 league appearances in South Africa before crossing into the USL Championship.

Webber’s first season in Tulsa only sharpened the case for a bigger move. FC Tulsa’s roster page lists him with 30 appearances across all competitions in 2025, including all four playoff matches, with five goals and six assists. He also produced a goal and an assist in the Western Conference Final, part of a postseason run that ended with Tulsa beating New Mexico United 3-0 to claim the conference title before a club-record crowd of 9,180 at ONEOK Field.

That kind of output is exactly why the Chiefs have stayed linked to him. The Johannesburg club, which plays its home matches at FNB Stadium in Soweto, continues to search for attacking help as it weighs options for the South African Premier Division. Webber’s return would bring a player who has already shown he can handle a high-pressure playoff run in Tulsa and who arrived in the USL with the kind of fee that signaled serious belief in his ceiling.

Timing could matter as much as valuation. One recent local report placed Webber’s FC Tulsa contract through 30 November 2026, which would shape any deal if Kaizer Chiefs want him before then. FC Tulsa’s roster page says he returned for the 2026 USL Championship season, leaving Tulsa with a productive attacker under contract as the transfer market again circles one of the league’s clearest international success stories.
