With both Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates having underwhelming seasons in front of goal, it looks like they’re finally going all in on fixing their attacking woes.

And now, a new name is being floated around—a red-hot striker from Burkina Faso who’s tearing up the Rwandan league.

The Battle Begins for Djibril Ouattara

Word on the street is that Djibril Ouattara, a former RSB Berkane forward who’s now lighting it up at APR FC in Rwanda, is being offered to both Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates.

He’s been in sensational form—12 goals and 3 assists in just 10 games this year.

That’s the kind of strike rate that turns heads fast, especially for clubs in desperate need of a reliable finisher.

A Proven Finisher on the Move

At just 25 years old, Ouattara is entering his prime.

He’s already shown flashes of brilliance during his time with clubs like JS Kabylie and Vitesse FC, and now he’s making waves in Rwanda.

According to sources close to the player, his sights are now set on the PSL (Premier Soccer League), and clubs in South Africa are paying attention.

“He’s been offered around,” an insider told the media.

“A striker with those kinds of numbers can’t be ignored, and people in South Africa, especially at big clubs like Chiefs and Pirates, are noticing.”

Chiefs and Pirates Both Need Firepower

Let’s face it—both clubs are short on goals.

Pirates have shown flashes of potential, and Chiefs have had moments, but consistency up front has been lacking.

A striker like Ouattara could be the missing puzzle piece for either side, especially heading into the new season.

Decision Time: Where Should Ouattara Land?

Now the big question is: Should Ouattara go to Naturena or Mayfair?

Each club offers different strengths—Chiefs could use his pace and instinct to reignite their attack, while Pirates might see him as a replacement for their inconsistent forwards.

Either way, if the form he’s shown in Rwanda is anything to go by, this is a move that could shift the balance of power in the PSL.
