Kaizer Chiefs identify foreign striker as January window solution!

Kaizer Chiefs are believed to be waiting for the January transfer window with hopes of boosting their strike force.

Chiefs were targeting a striker in the previous window as well, but failed to find the suitable candidate. 

Chiefs searching for a striker

There were quite a few strikers linked to Chiefs, mainly during the previous transfer window. Fiston Mayele, Lebohang Mothiba, Lungelo Nguse and Ashley Cupido among them. In the end, the club was either outpriced or did not get anywhere with negotiations with the said parties. That has not stopped their drive for a better outcome during the next transfer window, however.

Chiefs have been struggling in front of goal, of late despite an impressive early start to the season.  They have had to rely on a youthful attacking force carrying them, with only Ranga Chivaviro and Gaston Sirino being experienced. Along side them, there have been the likes of Mduduzi Shabalala, Wandile Duba and Mfundo Vilakazi. 

Coach Nasreddine Nabi has been stressing in the past few weeks that his talented youngsters do need experienced guidance. He has also stressed that Chiefs will be looking to add such players in the upcoming transfer windows. 

Agee the latest target?

Now according to KickOff.com Chiefs have switched their attention to DRC striker Basiala Agee of AS Maniema Union. 

“Kaizer Chiefs scouts were at Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Tuesday to watch the player (Agee). Tera was there with the Kaizer Chiefs officials. They were impressed. He has been identified as one of the players that could be signed by the club in January,” said the source. 

It seems as if Agee did well against Mamelodi Sundowns in what now looks like an audition for the Chiefs role. Amakhosi would have to release one foreign player if they’re to sign him, however, and that could well be countryman Christian Saile.

Chiefs would you be happy to sacrifice Saile for Agee? Feel free to leave your thoughts and feelings below.
