Kaizer Chiefs are keeping their eyes on South Africa this offseason, targeting players from the nation’s top two sides, Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates.

The latter relates to soon-to-be free agent Paseko Mako, who, according to SABC Sport, has reached advanced talks with Nasreddine Nabi’s side.

Meanwhile, another player on their radar is Sundowns striker Etiosa Ighodaro.

“Yes, it’s true. Chiefs are believed to have enquired about Mamelodi Sundowns striker Etiosa Ighodaro,” a SoccerLaduma source revealed

“You know the thing is the same people who scouted him from Nigeria for Sundowns are the same who have enquired about him for Kaizer Chiefs.”

“Actually it’s not the first time they have enquired about him. They tried before when he was on loan at Chippa United but Sundowns sent him on loan at SuperSport United. But now they are apparently looking at the possibility of Sundowns letting him go and they can pounce on him.”

Salum inbound?

Kaizer Chiefs coach, adamant on securing the services of Tanzanian Feisal Salum, travelled to the players home country in a bid to sway him to Soweto. The last reports suggest it may have worked.

“Nabi reportedly held a crucial meeting with Feisal Salum during his visit. This meeting confirms Nabi’s continued keen interest in the dynamic midfielder, a player he has long admired,” a source said.

“Previous attempts to secure Salum’s services hit a snag due to a significant disparity in valuation between the clubs involved. However, the recent meeting appears to have breathed new life into the potential transfer. “

“Crucially, sources close to the player confirm he is highly receptive to the project and is eager to join Kaizer Chiefs next season.”
