Monnapule Saleng has reportedly signed a pre-contract with Kaizer Chiefs, according to SoccerLaduma.
The rumours have yet to be confirmed, but it has people talking, namely Orlando Pirates’ all-time goalscorer Benedict Vilikazi. The club legend doesn’t see a move to Kaizer Chiefs ending well for the 27-year-old, saying, “Is he (Saleng) that type of a player that can really play for Chiefs, the way they are playing? I don’t think so.”
An example, look at (Gaston) Sirino [at Kaizer Chiefs], he’s no more the Sirino we knew at Sundowns, because of the type of players surrounding him.”
“What’s happening to Sirino now, is the same thing that happened to Khama Billiat. The same thing that happened to Keagan Dolly and now it’s happening to Sirino, you cannot have Sirino alone and not have other good players surrounding him,” he added.
“Obviously he’s going to have a lot on his shoulders. So, he needs support. So even if Saleng goes and plays for Kaizer Chiefs, he’s going to struggle like Sirino is struggling, because there’s no core at Chiefs that is very strong, that when everyone comes in (they fit in) like puzzles. Those pazzles at Chiefs are scattered.”
Salum sale on?
Meanwhile, Kaizer Chiefs’ long-term target Feisal Salum has reportedly made the Soweto giants his chosen destination after Nasreddine Nabi travelled to Tanzania to meet the midfielder.
The 27-year-old is reportedly travelling to Naturena in the coming days to get the deal done, which, if achieved, would be AmaKhosi’s first deal of the offseason.
Should Kaizer Chiefs scoop Saleng?
