Kaizer Chiefs, riddled with problems, look to add more inventory to an already stacked squad.
AmaKhosi have returned their attention to Pyramids forward Fiston Mayele. The Congolese international has bagged thirteen goals across all competitions this season, including six – in nine games – Champions League conversions.
According to reports, although Mayele is one of the many strikers Kaizer Chiefs are monitoring, he remains a priority target.
“At the moment there is not one striker who the club could say is the one joining them. Yes, they are priotising Fiston Mayele but they don’t want to be caught off guard if things don’t work out with him and that’s why they are reigniting the interest in [Fagrie] Lakay,” SoccerLaduma confirmed.
“You remember they have been interested in him for some time now? They are just waiting for that chance to sign him. And this could be the right time to do so for the club,” they concluded.
An additional source confirmed Kaizer Chiefs’ interest in Mayele, saying, “It could go down to choice and priority for both Chiefs and Pyramids. Which striker could Pyramids let go and which one do they really want to keep? As for Chiefs, which player do they really want to sign over the other?
“It is expected to go down to the wire as they are interested in two strikers of the same team. So, it will also be about the pricing from Pyramids and what Chiefs can afford to pay for them to get the striker they desire for next season. That’s the decision they will have to make.”
