Kaizer Chiefs hope to add Tanzanian international Feisal Salum to their midfield lineup as Cedric Kaze and Nasreddine Nabi push for a move

Kaizer Chiefs are preparing for an exciting boost to their roster as they set sights on Tanzanian midfielder Feisal Salum.

This move, if completed, could provide the Chiefs with a fresh attacking edge for the upcoming January transfer window.

Known for his skill and versatility, Salum has already earned 37 caps and three goals for his national team, making him a valuable potential asset.

Cedric Kaze Champions Salum’s Potential

Chiefs’ assistant coach Cedric Kaze is a strong advocate for bringing Salum to the squad, suggesting a pursuit for the midfielder despite interest from rival club Mamelodi Sundowns.

Kaze, alongside head coach Nasreddine Nabi, has extensive experience in Tanzanian football, having previously coached Salum at Yanga SC.

They believe the 26-year-old could be a perfect fit for Chiefs’ style of play.

A source close to the club indicated that talks have begun and that an official approach to Salum’s current team, Azam FC, may follow soon.
