Kaizer Chiefs continue their rebuilding efforts but appear to have fallen short in the race for two long-term transfer targets, Fawaaz Basadien and Fiston Mayele. Despite early interest, neither of the players will be heading to Naturena.
This development adds to the frustrations of Kaizer Chiefs supporters, who have seen several high-profile pursuits fall through in recent seasons. However, the club has not abandoned its search and may already have its eyes on a new option.
Reports indicate that Kaizer Chiefs have been offered the services of a new forward — a Cameroonian currently playing in Congo. Sources suggest the striker has experience and could provide the type of reinforcement the technical team has been looking for, especially as the club prepares for CAF Confederation Cup fixtures.
“He has been offered to Chiefs in their quest to sign a striker. Now it’s up to the scouts and analysts to assess him,” a source explained. A second source echoed the sentiment, stating that the club hasn’t concluded its signings and is still actively scouting.
It’s believed that despite already bringing in six players during this window, the technical team feels that one more experienced attacker is needed to balance the squad. Kaizer Chiefs management is reportedly willing to greenlight that move if the coaching staff deems it necessary.
