Kaizer Chiefs Transfer News: Striker to leave?

Kaizer Chiefs striker Ranga Chivaviro is facing a possible exit out of Amakhosi.

CONTRACT UP IN JUNE

According to Soccer Laduma, the 32-year-old striker’s deal with Kaizer Chiefs ends on 30 June. While the club has an option to extend by one year, not taking the option by this time of the season suggests a new deal is highly unlikely.

NASREDDINE NABI ON GLODY LILEPO

We’ve all seen that Kaizer Chiefs winger Glody Lilepo has looked like a misfit on the wings, but coach Nasreddine Nabi has no issues with that.

Should Lilepo move to the number nine position where Kaizer Chiefs are struggling the most? Coach Nabi does not think so.

“His first position is winger, right or left, he’s a winger, but as a coach, you need to give more chances, offensively, sometimes in France he played second striker for Valenciennes, but it’s not his [natural] position,” Nabi explained via iDiski Times. “Today in the last 20 minutes I wanted to push [Pule] Mmodi as a winger, with more strikers, more players in the final 18 [area], I think you observed that we continued to create more chances, but not score.

KAIZER CHIEFS TO TARGET PLAYERS FROM ABROAD

According to coach Nabi, Betway Premiership clubs have been unwilling to sell players to the Glamour Boys. The club’s new transfer strategy is to target players from abroad. The latest example was Thabo Cele, who joined the club in January after leaving his Russian club FC Fakel Voronezh.

“We know the competition, it’s hard to sign players from other clubs in South Africa for us, so we need to change our strategy and we have a new strategy in management for that,” the Kaizer Chiefs mentor said via iDiski Times. “It’s not for me to talk to you about it, but the club, we have a new strategy that we are working on. After this window, we will maybe look outside, another country for other players.

“But it’s not about names, I don’t need big names, I need the profile of the player that can fit into my system, not a name. And we will go outside South Africa if we need to.

“But I don’t want too many players, but I want the quality players that my game model needs,” concluded the Kaizer Chiefs tactician.
