Nabi gives striker ultimatum to Kaizer Chiefs management

Nabi gives striker ultimatum to Kaizer Chiefs management, according to Soccer Laduma.

Chiefs’ struggles in front of goal came to the forefront after their 2-0 defeat to Polokwane City on Sunday. Coach Nasreddine Nabi wasted no time addressing the issue, meeting with team management to demand immediate action in the January transfer window.

According to insider sources, Nabi expressed his dissatisfaction with the team’s strike force, despite being generally pleased with other departments’ performances. His concerns revolve around the lack of a clinical striker to convert the team’s opportunities into goals.

“The coach has told management that they can fail to sign everyone else but not the striker,” revealed a source. “Apparently, in the weekly match report, he told the technical team to prioritize a striker above all other signings.”

Chiefs’ scoring woes in focus

Nabi’s frustration stems from the team’s inability to capitalize on scoring chances. Without an effective striker, efforts from other departments remain futile. Chiefs’ attack has been underwhelming, with their four current strikers struggling to deliver:

Christian Saile: Likely to leave the club.

Ranga Chivaviro: Started strong with two early goals but has since faded.

Ashley Du Preez and Wandile Duba: Yet to consistently deliver.

Chiefs’ poor conversion rate, coupled with their dubious record of conceding the most goals in the Premier Soccer League, has intensified the urgency for attacking reinforcements.

January transfer window: Search for a game-changer

With the transfer window approaching, Amakhosi have identified several potential targets. These include:

Fiston Mayele (Pyramid FC)

Tumisang Orebonye (AS FAR, Morocco)

Michael Olunga (Kenyan captain based in Qatar)

Lungelo Nguse (Golden Arrows)

“Signing a striker should have been the first priority even during the off-season,” said the source. “Now, he has given them an ultimatum to sign a striker or else they should not expect miracles at all.”

The club’s management now faces the challenge of securing at least one top-quality striker to revitalize the team’s attack.

Striker reinforcements: The key to success?

Nabi’s ultimatum is clear: without reinforcements in the strikeforce, Kaizer Chiefs’ chances of turning their season around are slim. Whether management can deliver the desired signings in January will determine whether Amakhosi’s fortunes improve or continue to falter. The pressure is on, and the clock is ticking.
