Kaizer Chiefs are believed to be ready to attack the next transfer window aggressively in the near future.
This in an effort to boost coach Nasreddine Nabi’s chances of succeeding after a tough first season at Chiefs.
10 signings for Nabi
In the two windows that he has been at the club for, Nabi has been backed with 10 signings. So far, there have been very few success stories from that 10 with some already rumoured for an exit. Some of the earliest recruits in Bongani Sam and Fiacre Ntwarimight be amongst the first exits. There is also an element of doubt on the future of Bradley Cross, who has also failed to convince so far. This could be stemming from the fact that very few of them were the coach’s first choice targets.
It was rumoured that the coach wanted to bring three familiar faces to Chiefs. Striker Fiston Mayele, who is now at FC Pyramid but he coached at Yanga. Stephane Aziz Ki, who he also coached at the Tanzanian giants to great aplomb. The other being another former Yanga player in Tanzanian international Feisal Salum. It is believed that Amakhosi have made several attempts already to sign the later.
This publication reported that in January, Chiefs had a bid rejected by Azam FC for Salum. Last week it was suggested that he had given his green light to join Amakhosi. But now according to FARPost, the player could end up back at former club Yanga SC.
Yanga to beat Chiefs to Salum?
“Maverick Tanzanian midfielder Feisal Salum’s potential return to Young Africans is intensifying amidst growing interest from several other clubs. Salum has emerged as a prime target for Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi, who previously worked with the midfielder at Yanga. With clear indications pointing towards a move for Aziz Ki at the end of the season, Yanga are reportedly keen to welcome back Salum. The midfielder has only a year left on his contract with Azam FC and is reportedly eager for a move. A return to Yanga would be an appealing prospect for the Zanzibar-born midfielder.” Wrote the publication.
