Chiefs take big Blom decision
According to the latest reports, Kaizer Chiefs have decided to trigger their permanent option on Njabulo Blom.
Blom’s loan deal comes to an end in June however Kaizer Chiefs have an option to make the deal permanent, and management are now set on triggering that buy-out clause.
“You know in a loan deal there is either an obligation to buy at the end of the loan deal or an option to buy,” – an insider told Soccer Laduma regarding Njabulo Blom’s situation at Naturena.
“So Kaizer Chiefs have an option to buy when the loan deal expires and that is the one they are taking up. They feel that a fully fit Blom is a great asset to the club and the technical team is happy with what they have seen so far.
“Management is now working on that buyout clause from St Louis City. So, it will first be agreeing on buying then Chiefs will offer him their own new contract. But they are already working on buying for now.”
The publication further claim Njabulo Blom is not keen on returning to St Louis City.
