Kaizer Chiefs coach, Nasreddine Nabi, has provided an update on the club’s ongoing efforts to secure a striker before the transfer window closes.

While the team is actively pursuing new talent, Nabi acknowledged that finding the right fit has been a significant challenge.

Balancing Quality and Affordability

Nabi explained that the difficulty lies in identifying players who not only meet the club’s high standards but are also financially viable.

The search for top talent has led them to explore various options, including a potential signing from Portugal, which ultimately didn’t work out.

Striker from Portugal Rejected

Nabi shared that they had scouted a striker based in Portugal but decided against signing him due to concerns about the player’s quality.

Despite the club’s financial resources, Nabi emphasized that the priority is to bring in players who can truly elevate the team’s performance.

“The market is tough,” Nabi stated.

“It’s not easy to find top-quality players because every club wants the best.

We don’t settle for mediocrity, and that’s why we take our time with these decisions.

We recently passed on a striker from Portugal because he didn’t meet Kaizer Chiefs’ standards.”

Strengthening the Squad with Strategic Signings

On a more positive note, Nabi expressed satisfaction with the recent additions to the squad.

He highlighted the loan signing of Njabulo Blom from St. Louis City and the acquisition of Bradley Cross as moves that will significantly strengthen the team.

“The level I want for Kaizer Chiefs is high, and I’m not willing to compromise.

That’s why I’m pleased with the signing of Njabulo Blom.

He’s a part of the Kaizer Chiefs family. Bradley Cross also brings the personality and quality we need.

Our committee and scouting team are working tirelessly to find the best players for the team.”

Building a Competitive Team

The arrivals of Blom and Cross add to the club’s growing list of signings during this transfer window, which includes Bongani Sam, Inacio Miguel, Gaston Sirino, Fiacre Ntwari, and Rushwin Dortley.

These additions are part of Kaizer Chiefs’ broader strategy to address their struggles in front of goal.

With the transfer window remaining open until September 20, 2024, for teams in the Betway Premiership, Kaizer Chiefs continue to explore their options.

The club is eager to finalize their squad before the season kicks off after the international break.

So, what’s next for Kaizer Chiefs? Stay tuned as the transfer window drama unfolds.
