Fans React to Kaizer Chiefs’ Possible Interest in Egyptian Based Striker

• Egyptian-based striker Fagrie Lakay could be heading back to South Africa to join Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs
• Bafana Bafana striker Lakay previously played for Cape Town City before moving to Egyptian side Pyramids FC in 2022
• Local football fans responded on social media to say Chiefs should pursue the 27-year-old, while others grew frustrated that another striker has been linked with Amakhosi

Bafana Bafana striker Fagrie Lakay emerged as a target for Kaizer Chiefs after talks about finding a new club in Egypt ended.

The Soweto giants are reportedly interested in the 27-year-old after his switch to Ceramica Cleopatra from Egyptian rivals Pyramids FC recently fell through.

During the current transfer window, Chiefs have actively searched for a new striker but have faced several rejections, including Khanyisa Mayo, who instead chose Algerian side CR Belouizdad.
