Kaizer Chiefs will most definitely sign a new striker soon to compete with rivals Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns.

KAIZER CHIEFS TARGETING MICHAEL OLUNGA

As revealed in many previous reports around Mzansi and the continent, Chiefs are in the market for a top-class centre forward. One of them has been Kenya’s Michael Olunga. The 30-year-old Amakhosi target scored his 12th goal in 13 games as Al-Duhail beat Al-Arabi 2-1 in the Qatari Super League last weekend. Meanwhile, the Chiefs are also linked with the highly-rated striker Fiston Mayele at Pyramids FC. Recent reports say Amakhosi are preparing to table R20 million for the Congolese star.
