Kaizer Chiefs coach Ernst Middendorp has spoken on the importance of retaining the services of George Maluleka beyond the end of the season.
Maluleka is in the final three months of his current deal with Amakhosi but the parties are yet to reach an agreement on a new deal the club tabled at the start of the year.
