Kaizer Chiefs’ revised recruitment strategy might raise a few eyebrows among concerned Amakhosi supporters across South Africa.
New Kaizer Chiefs transfer strategy revealed?
According to SoccerLaduma, Chiefs are pivoting their recruitment strategy by targeting players who aren’t being chased by rival clubs from the Betway Premiership.
“What the club has decided on their recruitment policy is to try and sign as many players as possible who are not in demand from their local rivals. On many occasions, when they are competing with other local teams, they end up not signing those players. Now that’s why they have reignited the pursuit of Luke Le Roux. He is a South African but currently playing in Europe and they believe they stand a better chance of signing him,” the insider said.
Le Roux is on the agenda
Former SuperSport United and Stellenbosch midfield schemer Luke Le Roux is reportedly a target for Kaizer Chiefs. The Bafana man plies his trade for Swedish outfit Värnamo.
“Even if we say they have the money to bring him back home like they did in the past with players like Bernard Parker, Tshepo Masilela or even Keagan Dolly, it will all depend on the player himself whether he wants to come back home or not,” an insider told Soccer Laduma.
“It will be interesting to see what happens with him in January and Chiefs are crossing their fingers to at least sign a player that both management and the technical team agree upon.”
Dortley out for the season
22-year-old Rushwin Dortley requires knee surgery and will play no further part in the 2024-2025 season. The man signed from Cape Town Spurs has become a pillar of the Chiefs back four, appearing in 18 of their 21 league outings to date.
Will Chiefs find some success with this new strategy?
