Kaizer Chiefs manager Nasreddine Nabi has been told to sign former Mamelodi Sundowns star Bongani Zungu to bolster his squad.

The Tunisian tactician struggled in both games against Sundowns this season despite a promising start in the Premier Soccer League.

The Bafana Bafana midfielder has been without a club since parting ways with Masandawana, but a number of teams have also shown interest in signing him.

"I think he has done well. There's a new excitement at Kaizer Chiefs supporters are always attending games because of what Nabi is cooking," the former Kaizer Chiefs star said.

"You can see that he wants to play more counter-attacks, and he wants to try and neutralise the midfield, and he wants to build from the back also."

The former Kaizer Chiefs winger also explained how Zungu could be the missing link in Nabi's setup.

"In my opinion, a player like Bongani Zungu, who is currently a free agent. I think he (Nabi) just needs a pivot who can be the link between the defence and the attack."
