Kaizer Chiefs have received a huge boost in the pursuit of one of their top transfer targets for next season.
Chiefs are looking to add quality and depth to their squad as they prepare to compete on the continent next campaign.
Last season was yet another one to forget for Chiefs, as they saw themselves finishing outside top eight. This was for the second season in a row, and only the third in their history. The only saving grace they had this time around was their Nedbank Cup trophy triumph. That win was not only their first trophy in 10 years, but a gateway into the CAF Confederation Cup next season. That will mean more games and more travelling rigours for the club.
Chiefs targeting Salum
In order to combat that, while remaining competitive on the local front, Chiefs management will have to step up. This in the way of backing coach Nasreddine Nabi with a squad filled with quality in strength and depth. One of the targets he has been rumoured to desperately want is Feisal Salum. Amakhosi were rumoured to have been subjects of a bid to Azam FC for services in January.
That bid was rejected but it is now reported that Azam are more receptive to selling Salum this window. Now according to FARPost, Chiefs coach Nabi has convinced the talented midfielder his project. It is believed that he is now ready to reject Simba SC to join Amakhosi!
Player in Amakhosi colours!
Salum is ironically in the country, but not for Chiefs or at least not just yet. He will be part of the Tanzania national team that takes on Bafana Bafana and plays the COSAFA Cup. While he isn’t here for a move to Amakhosi, that hasn’t stopped him from donning the club tracksuit top. Furthermore, he even threw up the famous peace sign synonymous with the club. Check it out!
