Striker search heads to DR Congo

Kaizer Chiefs may have concluded their pre-season tour in the Netherlands with a defeat, but the mission for a new striker remains active. After returning to South Africa with four losses from five matches, the club appears determined to boost its frontline before the new season kicks off.

Despite having signed six players already this window, insiders say management is still open to approving another deal — but only if the technical team insists that a striker is essential for the coming campaign.

Experienced forward offered to the club

The latest development involves Cameroonian striker Ravel Djoumekou, who currently plays for DR Congo’s FC Saint Eloi Lupopo. According to sources close to the club, this player has been offered to Kaizer Chiefs. He’s described as experienced and capable of meeting the demands of continental and domestic football alike.

“He has been offered to Chiefs in their quest to sign a striker and now it’s up to Chiefs’ scouts and analysts to assess him,” a source explained.

A second source confirmed the club’s continued interest in bringing more players in: “The club hasn’t finished signings yet. They are still looking. Some names you may know, others you may not.”
