Kaizer Chiefs new striker: Two main targets revealed

Kaizer Chiefs are in the market for a new striker in a bid to answer their goal-scoring woes.

Kaizer Chiefs have struggled in front of goal for several seasons.

So, Amakhosi’s technical team is actively hunting for a new striker. Let’s take a look at their latest targets.

CHIEFS KEEPING AN EYE ON SUNDOWN’S ATTACKER

Chiefs have identified two main striker targets – Etiosa Ighodaro and Dzenan Zajmovic.

Initially, Ighodaro was reportedly spotted in training with Amakhosi. However, he is now training alone due to his current contract situation with Mamelodi Sundowns.

“He is training on his own. It’s believed that his head is affected by the interest from Kaizer Chiefs and that he still has a running contract with Sundowns, so he is at a crossroads right now. But because he wants to remain fit, he is training on his own for now,” the insider stated on SNL.

Meanwhile, Chippa United striker Zajmovic is the other player on Amakhosi’s radar.

“I think if he’s on a free, it’s a good gamble for me. Whether he will start it will depend on his match fitness and how he is able to gel and I think the coach is the only one who can answer. Zajmovic at Galaxy showed a lot of goal-scoring prowess, he’s good in the air, good on the feet, good decision-making. If they can get him as soon as possible and (Tashreeq) Morris and other guys, put them on loan, you can’t have a heavy strike force,” he added.

“Chiefs haven’t given up on him. They are still working behind the scenes to try and get him for this season. They have a chance of registering him as a local player if they can sign him as he is waiting for his Permanent Residence Permit papers as well. So Chiefs are looking at all those possibilities to sign him,” the second source told the Siya crew.
