Monnapule Saleng is believed (per SoccerLaduma) to have signed a pre-contract with Kaizer Chiefs following a tumultuous season at Orlando Pirates.
Negotiations between the parties have yet to be confirmed, but if this is the case, Orlando Pirates legend doesn’t see it working out for the 27-year-old.
“Is he (Saleng) that type of a player that can really play for Chiefs, the way they are playing? I don’t think so,” Vilikazi questioned.
“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.”
Is Mayele the boost Chiefs need?
Former Kaizer Chiefs manager Gavin Hunt believes Fiston Mayele would transform AmaKhosi into a title challenging side.
“In the PSL, I think he can be a 30-goal striker, I really do. I think he’ll make goals on his own, by just movement, strength and power. [If he signs for Kaizer Chiefs] they win a treble,” Hunt mentioned.
The CAF Champions League winner has Mamelodi Sundowns, Orlando Pirates and Chiefs vying for his services.
Is Saleng to Kaizer Chiefs a good move?
