Kaizer Chiefs flop set for an exit soon

Kaizer Chiefs are set to release Christian Saile after three years at the club.

The 25-year-old forward scored just six goals in 49 league appearances for the Soweto giants. This past weekend, Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi gave him a rare start, but the Congolese failed to deliver against Cape Town City.

With Amakhosi looking to offload several players this January period, Saile could be on the list. He hasn’t offered much for Kaizer Chiefs this season and has failed to win over supporters.

According to an insider for Soccer Laduma, the Congolese forward is wanted in Zambia.

“For now, that seems to be the solution for him. Yes, the Zambian team has enquired getting him on loan so that he can help the team in the Zambian MTN Super League. You remember he was their top scorer before joining Chiefs in 2022. So since the Nchanga Rangers is also struggling, they feel he could help them. But for now, they just want him on loan,” said the inside.

Kaizer Chiefs to release Christian Saile

Saile is set to return to Zambia where he showed good form by becoming the league’s top goalscorer.

“If there is a club that would say they want to sign him permanently, that’s what Chiefs would like. It has been tough for Saile mainly this season and a move away from Naturena could be helpful for him,” the insider told Soccer Laduma.

Kaizer Chiefs have yet to make a signing this January transfer, but Nabi has made it clear that the club needs quality. Despite bringing in seven new players in the previous transfer window, Amakhosi is still struggling this season.
