Feisal Salum is the talk of the town. Kaizer Chiefs are keen to sign the Azam FC midfielder, but there are other suitors lurking.
Tanzanian star Salum is a big star in his country and has 1.7 million Instagram followers.
The goal-scoring midfielder featured for Tanzania in a recent friendly against South Africa.
Salum drops a huge hint at a potential Kaizer Chiefs move
Feisal Salum reposted a teammate’s story to his own account, where he appears to be lying in a bed wearing a tracksuit top with Chiefs’ colours. Make your own mind up about what this means. The player has 1.7 million followers on Instagram, so this is unlikely to quieten the rumours. Salum chipped in with an impressive 19 goals for Azam FC during the 2023-2024 campaign. That followed a glittering spell with Young Africans, where the talented playmaker collected consecutive trebles. A proven winner, Salum has 41 caps and four goals for his nation. The Zanzibar-born star hasn’t replicated last season’s form for Azam FC this time around. His last goal for the club came back in December 2024, and his side sits third in the Tanzanian Premier League, a massive 16 points adrift of leaders Young Africans.
‘Orlando Pirates are emptying the recycling bin now’
Orlando Pirates miss out on Appollis?
In their search for a prolific wide man, Chiefs have reportedly reignited their interest in Polokwane and Bafana star Oswin Appollis. The 23-year-old was in action for South Africa in a 0-0 draw against Tanzania. Appollis is also a target for Pirates.
Mako to Kaizer Chiefs?
Like a shortfin Mako shark, Paseka is quick, snappy and compact. The nifty left-back made 26 appearances in the 2024-2025 campaign. 2020-2021 was arguably his finest campaign, with four assists in 20 league outings. Meanwhile, 34-year-old Deon Hotto faces an uncertain long-term future.
