Is the dream over? This is not the ideal news for Kaizer Chiefs supporters who have been calling for Fawaaz Basadien.
As early as the start of the season, coach Nasreddine Nabihas been targeting a special left-back with Stellenbosch FC‘s Basadien the prime target.
According to the latest report, Kaizer Chiefs are finding endless obstacles in the chase to sign the 27-year-old left-back. Reports say Amakhosi have started looking elsewhere.
KAIZER CHIEFS TO FIND SOLUTIONS INSIDE THE SQUAD?
Soccer Laduma believes that the Soweto giants are considering to work with Happy Mashiane, Bradley Cross and Edmilson Dove as the solutions to the left-back position.
“Happy (Mashiane) is amongst the players who have been told to report for the pre-season meeting at the end of June. This means the team still has plans for him,” the outlet reported.
“You know with Edmilson Dove believed to be leaving at the end of June then the Kaizer Chiefs will only have Bradley Cross as a left back so they believe Happy (Mashiane) should stay at the club until they are sure they have signed a dependable left back who can work with Cross.
“So, he is not going anywhere right now until a new signing is available, ” the insider added.
Another source told the same publication that Kaizer Chiefs have not entirely given up on Basadien and the Simba SC captain, Mohamed Hussein.
“They haven’t given up on Fawaaz (Basadien) though it’s believed that Sundowns have offered more money than Chiefs and Pirates. And there is Tanzanian international Mohamed Hussein.
“But since they haven’t signed any of them yet they are keeping Happy Mashiane and it’s also believed they can promote Kabelo Nkgwesa. That’s the club’s plan for now,” the source told the outlet.
