Kaizer Chiefs are preparing to shake things up ahead of the new season, and Tashreeq Morris could be the first to go, according to Soccer Laduma. The club plans to loan out the striker, who joined in January, in a bid to make space for new attacking talent.
Morris, 31, arrived at Naturena from SuperSport United with high expectations. However, he has failed to deliver the impact the club hoped for. Despite featuring in 19 matches across all competitions, the forward has managed to score only twice.
Underwhelming numbers prompt exit talks
While Morris offers more than just goals through his physical presence and pressing ability, the club’s technical team appears unconvinced. Chiefs insiders reveal that his performances have prompted urgent discussions about his future.
“There was apparently a meeting believed to be held just before the final game of the season where both management and the technical team are believed to have agreed that it would be a great idea to loan Morris out next season. So he is set for a loan at the start of next season,” the source confirmed.
Chiefs prioritise new striker before loan
Amakhosi are determined to secure a new frontman before greenlighting Morris’ temporary exit. Club officials are actively pursuing multiple striker targets, although no agreements have been finalised yet.
“As much as they are looking at loaning him out, the club’s first priority is to find a striker and sign that player first. From how things are now, they have targeted several strikers but no deal has been reached with anyone yet and that’s what could probably delay Morris’ loan move. But they are working on that,” the source added.
Morris’ style praised despite goal drought
Although Morris hasn’t lit up the scoreboard, he remains a forward who contributes in other ways. His ability to hold up the ball and link play brings others into the game. Off the ball, his pressing forces opponents into costly mistakes.
Should they loan Morris or keep him and give him more time at Kaizer Chiefs?
