‘What can I do?’: Coach confirms player set to join Kaizer Chiefs!
Kaizer Chiefs are now stepping up their efforts in the current transfer window, with a rival coach confirming they are set to sign one of his key players…
Kaizer Chiefs are poised to make their first signing of the January transfer window and its a shock one!
It has been no secret that Chiefs have been searching for a striker to bolster their squad in 2025.
There’s been a long list that features the likes of Fiston Mayele, Clement Mzize, Lungelo Nguse and Ruben del Campo! It was also believed that Chiefs were looking to get rid of DRC attacker Christian Saile to open a foreign spot. Furthermore, it was believed the foreign spot would be kept open for a striker.
Morris set to join Chiefs
It was initially believed that Saile was going to join Chippa, in a swap deal for Sinoxolo Kwayiba. Now it looks like that move won’t happen. This publication reported, however, a swap deal will happen but with SuperSport United. This will see their striker Tashreeq Morris join Chiefs in exchange! Now speaking to FARPost after their 1-0 loss against Polokwane City, SuperSport coach Gavin Hunt confirmed the move.
“Yeah, he just came in two months ago. Well, for us, you know, obviously it’s a blow, but you know, it’s a great opportunity for him (Going to Chiefs). And you know, I mean, how many players [have left us]? Financially [the move] will help him [Morris], so it is a no-brainer for the boy, so what can I do?” Said Hunt.
Hunt confirms move and Saile signing for SuperSport
Hunt also confirmed the other half of the deal, which sees Saile arrive from Chiefs to replace Morris.
“Yes, he (Saile) is coming in (to SuperSport).” Said Hunt.
Morris is expected to be announced as a Chiefs player imminently after undergoing his medicals already. Should everything go according to plan, and he signs, he won’t be able to play immediately. This due to a two game suspension received from his last game for SuperSport. The 30-year-old has never been a prolific striker in his career. He has never scored five goals in a topflight season. He has just two goals in nine games for Matsatsantsa this campaign.
