Feisal Salum has been turning heads for a while. Why are Kaizer Chiefs chasing the Tanzanian midfield schemer?
Kaizer Chiefs target Salum knows the way to the goal
Feisal Salum chipped in with an impressive 19 goals for Azam FC during the 2023-2024 campaign. That followed a glittering spell with Young Africans where the talented playmaker collected consecutive trebles. A proven winner, Salum has 41 caps and four goals for his nation.
Is a deal possible?
According to Goal, Feisal Salum is tempted by a move to link up with former manager Nasreddine Nabi. The pair worked together at Young Africans in Salum’s native Tanzania.
“Nabi reportedly held a crucial meeting with Feisal Salum during his visit. This meeting confirms Nabi’s continued keen interest in the dynamic midfielder, a player he has long admired,” a source said.
“Previous attempts to secure Salum’s services hit a snag due to a significant disparity in valuation between the clubs involved. However, the recent meeting appears to have breathed new life into the potential transfer. “
“Crucially, sources close to the player confirm he is highly receptive to the project and is eager to join Kaizer Chiefs next season.”
