Kaizer Chiefs supporters have fresh hope ahead of the upcoming transfer window as reports suggest Tanzanian international Feisal Salum is open to joining the Soweto giants. The 27-year-old attacking midfielder, currently on the books of Azam FC, has reportedly shown strong interest in a move to Naturena, according to football insider Eric Ndagijimana, who shared the update on X. While no official bid has been confirmed, early indications suggest that Amakhosi could be exploring the possibility of bringing the skilful playmaker on board as part of their squad overhaul.
Salum’s profile makes him an appealing prospect for a Chiefs side determined to regain its competitive edge. Known for his vision, technical quality, and ability to orchestrate attacks, he could provide the much-needed creativity that the team has lacked in recent campaigns. With Chiefs aiming to rebuild and push for improved results next season, the potential arrival of the Tanzanian star adds a positive spark to their transfer ambitions. His interest in the move has further energised the club’s fan base, who have been eagerly awaiting signs of renewal within the squad.
As Chiefs plot their next steps, their rivals Orlando Pirates are preparing for a high-stakes CAF Champions League semi-final encounter against Pyramids FC. The Buccaneers will have to contain Pyramids’ in-form striker Fiston Mayele, a player who has also been linked with Chiefs. Mayele has been in prolific touch this season, scoring 19 goals in 33 African appearances, including six in the Champions League, making him one of the continent’s most dangerous forwards.
On the domestic front, Chiefs face a decisive MTN8 qualification battle against Chippa United on Saturday, 19 April. Their position has been complicated by Royal AM’s expulsion and the subsequent points adjustment, which dropped Chiefs to 29 points from 23 matches. With Golden Arrows and Chippa also fighting for a top-eight finish, Amakhosi cannot afford defeat if they are to secure their place in next season’s MTN8 and end the campaign on a positive note.
