Kaizer Chiefs news: Same mistake repeated, Salum deal close?
Today’s news wrap.
Today’s Kaizer Chiefs news wrap looks at mistakes in the transfer window and hopes that Feisal Salum could be tempted to join the club.
Salum could be joining on a free, but…
27-year-old Attacking midfielder Feisal Salum will not be extending his contract with Azam FC in his homeland. The goal-scoring schemer has been persistently linked with a move to Kaizer Chiefs. Even if he makes a free transfer switch to Chiefs, they’d need to cough up a considerable salary and huge signing-on fee for the talented goal-scoring midfield schemer.
“Feisal Salum has made his decision and informed the club that he will not extend his contract,” Africafoot.com confirmed.
Dithejane and Ndamane got out of Chiefs at the right time
Two former Kaizer Chiefs young talents are thriving at TS Galaxy. The Rockets are on a 12-match unbeaten streak and shocked Sundowns with a 1-0 win last time out. They’re arguably the most improved side of the past few months in South Africa. Two ex-Chiefs products are contributing richly to this success. 20-year-old central defender, the stylish left-footer Khulumani Ndamane, has started 15 games across all competitions this term. His mature, complete performances have drawn effusive praise from new Rockets boss Adnan Beganovic.
“What I can say about him, is he is almost 20 years [of age]. Imagine he plays all games like he’s 35 with the same confidence, no mistakes,” Beganovic told FARPost.
Fixtures to put in the diary
Chiefs’ reward for a 4-0 drubbing of Free Agents FC is a Round of 16 clash at home against Chippa on Saturday 15 Feb at 18:00 in the Nedbank Cup. Next up in the Betway Premiership for the Glamour Boys is a meeting with former mentor Gavin Hunt and his SuperSport charges on Tuesday 18 Feb at 19:30.
