Olunga is seen as a viable target after scoring 29 goals for Kenya and has 70 goals for Al-Duhail in as many games, while Congolese striker Fiston Mayele has rejected Chiefs.
Michael Olunga is a target for Kaizer Chiefs
Chiefs want Kenyan striker Olunga, according to the tweet below:
According to a Soccer Laduma source, Chiefs are interested, while the club has welcomed Njabulo Blom back to the side after he arrived on loan from MLS side St Louis City.
The source said:
“The only thing that could stumble the move is the financial prospects of the whole deal. Coming from Qatar could not be cheap, but if he comes as a free agent, then that would be a situation in which Chiefs can manipulate.”
Fans suggest another option
Local football fans praised the potential signing of Olunga on social media, while others feel Chiefs should consider another option closer to home.
Ben Zeking made a suggestion:
“They must consider Samir Nurković.”
Mvuyisi Mvugo Mbete asked a question:
“We used to dominate the league with DRC strikers. What happened to our scouts?”
Thabani A Zulu is a fan of Olunga:
“If you know football, then you know this one is a legend.”
Taetso Mahlare backs the signing:
“Has a better scoring ratio than Mayele.”
Phumlani Sikobi says there is a better option:
“Nurkovic can solve our problems.”
Kaizer Chiefs filled an important vacancy
As reported by Briefly News, Kaizer Chiefs has secured the signature of Lamontville Golden Arrows defender Bradley Cross.
The Soweto club has been searching the market for a new left-back and has now filled the void with the addition of the former Newcastle United youth player.
