Kaizer Chiefs want to reinforce their engine room with two classy central midfielders offering totally different skill sets.
Chiefs chase goal-scoring star Salum
Tanzanian international midfield star Feisal Salum is commanding a massive new pay rise with his current club Azam FC. Simba SC and Kaizer Chiefs are both lurking with considerable intent. According to The Citizen, Amakhosi have the funds to out-bid Azam and offer him improved terms. However, Chiefs face a tough stage of negotiations if they want to lure the midfielder away from his homeland. The attacking midfield maestro scored 19 goals last term.
Salum would be a massive coup for the club but would take their quota of foreign players above five. However, new reports suggest Chiefs want to offload Edmilson Dove, Edson Castillo and misfiring attacker Christian Saile.
Salum will reportedly demand R222k a month

Enforcer Cele is homesick, will Kaizer Chiefs pounce?
According to Soccer-Laduma, midfield general Thabo Cele fancies a return to South Africa in 2025 after a spell in Russia with Fakel Voronezh. The enforcer has made 27 appearances for Fakel since moving there in August 2023 from Polish side Radomiak. Cele only has five South African caps under his belt after making a debut in 2017 under former Chiefs boss Stuart Baxter.
