The latest transfer news surrounding Kaizer Chiefs revolves around their ongoing efforts to strengthen their forward line, while off-pitch developments are making things more complicated on the MTN8 front.
Kaizer Chiefs Eye Dzenan Zajmovic
One name on Kaizer Chiefs’ radar is 30-year-old Bosnian forward Dzenan Zajmovic. The striker has enjoyed a late-career surge and has caught the eye with impressive numbers this season.
With eight goals and three assists from 22 appearances in the Betway Premiership, Zajmovic has shown that he can compete at the top level.
His performance places him behind only Iqraam Rayners and Lucas Ribeiro Costa of Sundowns in terms of goals scored this season.
Zajmovic’s record of contributing to a goal every other match has certainly raised expectations for what he could bring to the PSL.
Other Striker Targets on Chiefs’ List
Zajmovic isn’t the only player on Chiefs’ striker wishlist. There are other potential signings the club has been considering, aiming to bring in fresh talent to improve their offensive options.
Stay tuned for more on their pursuit of new forwards as the transfer window progresses.
MTN8 Hopes Take a Hit
In a disappointing twist for Kaizer Chiefs, the expulsion of Royal AM from the PSL has had a negative impact on the club’s chances of qualifying for next season’s MTN8.
With Royal AM’s results now rendered null and void, Chiefs have lost crucial points.
The new standings show them sitting at 29 points from 23 games, a point behind where they stood previously.
This leaves them in a tight race for a top-eight finish.
Chippa United and Golden Arrows are both posing significant challenges to Chiefs’ MTN8 hopes.
Chippa, who are now level on points with Chiefs, have a game in hand, putting pressure on Chiefs ahead of their critical upcoming match against Chippa on April 19.
This clash could be a make-or-break moment for the club’s MTN8 ambitions.
Will Chiefs Make the MTN8?
The season has been a turbulent one for Chiefs fans, and whether they can secure a spot in the MTN8 remains uncertain.
Fans are left anxiously awaiting the outcome of the next few games, hoping their team can overcome the odds and finish strong.
