After a lot of excitement surrounding Njabulo Blom’s return from St. Louis, United States, it seems things haven’t gone as expected for the 25-year-old midfielder.
Fans were eager to see Blom back in action with Kaizer Chiefs, but the reality has been far less promising.
Njabulo Blom Struggles to Fit into Coach Nasreddine Nabi’s Plans
Blom’s loan move to Kaizer Chiefs this season from the MLS club St. Louis raised plenty of hopes.
However, his return hasn’t quite lived up to the expectations.
Despite his experience, Blom has struggled to secure a consistent spot in coach Nasreddine Nabi’s lineup, managing only 17 appearances so far, many of them as a substitute.
A source close to the team shared, “He was expected to lead the team with his experience and understanding of the environment, but he hasn’t been able to deliver as expected.”
The club is still undecided about Blom’s future. His performances have yet to impress the management, leaving them uncertain.
However, there’s still a chance for Blom to prove himself in the remaining games of the season, with his potential contract extension on the line.
He has to show he can contribute significantly to the team’s performance if he hopes to stay beyond this season.
Should Kaizer Chiefs Keep or Let Blom Go?
It’s a pivotal moment for Blom and Kaizer Chiefs. The club has yet to make a final decision on whether to keep him for the long term.
Fans and analysts alike are questioning whether it’s time to part ways with the midfielder or if he still deserves a chance to show what he can bring to the team. Should the club trust his potential, or is it time for a fresh start?
Goalkeeper Shake-Up Likely at Kaizer Chiefs
In addition to Blom’s uncertain future, Kaizer Chiefs are also dealing with problems in their goalkeeping department. Bruce Bvuma, Brandon Peterson, and Fiacre Ntwari have all struggled to make an impact this season, leading the club to consider looking for stronger options.
With 24 goals conceded in just 24 Betway Premiership matches, the club is planning significant changes.
It looks like the team will part ways with at least two of their current goalkeepers and seek replacements before the August transfer window.
The question remains: will it be Bvuma, Peterson, or Ntwari who will be shown the door?
Kaizer Chiefs Exploring New Goalkeeping Options
Looking ahead, Kaizer Chiefs are already considering their options. Among the goalkeepers they are eyeing is 30-year-old Malian Djigui Diarra.
Diarra brings a wealth of experience, having won multiple league titles with Tanzanian club Young Africans and earning 61 international caps for Mali.
His previous work with coach Nasreddine Nabi makes him an appealing choice.
If the Chiefs decide to make a change in the goalkeeping department, Diarra could be one of the key players on their radar.
As Kaizer Chiefs navigate these tough decisions, the pressure is on to make the right moves for the club’s future success.
Will Blom find a way to secure his place, and can the club find the right goalkeeper to strengthen their defense? Time will tell.
