Kaizer Chiefs Told to Sign Bafana Bafana Star From Pirates After Losing in Soweto Derby

• Kaizer Chiefs have been told to consider signing a South African international from Orlando Pirates after losing the Soweto derby
• The Nasreddine Nabi-led side succumbed to a late goal from Patrick Maswanganyi in the derby over the weekend at the FNB Stadium
• The Tunisian tactician was lacking in some certain areas on the pitch, especially the right-wing position

Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi has been advised to go all out and sign a Bafana Bafana star from Orlando Pirates after losing the Soweto derby.

A late goal from Patrick Maswanganyi was enough to give Pirates the deserved win over Chief in the first Soweto derby this season.

The Glamour Boys narrowly lost to the Buccaneers at the FNB Stadium, but they remain fifth on the Betway Premiership table.

“I think Kaizer Chiefs need a left-footed winger Nasreddine Nabi can put full trust in because I don’t think he trusts Mfundo Vilakazi and Potsane in that position,” he said.

“I will advise Amakhosi to try and sign Monnapule Saleng from Pirates, if possible, but I know it would be difficult as the Bafana Bafana winger will command a huge transfer fee and salary.

“Saleng is an established player and would give Chiefs more edge in attack compared to the ones they have presently.”

Anuma also tabled his thoughts on Saleng’s ongoing issues with Orlando Pirates and the possible solution.

“There’s no clear view of what’s going with Saleng at Orlando Pirates, but it’s obvious that he has issues with the club management, which has left Riveiro with no choice but to keep him out of the squad,” he added.

“The only solution to this is for both parties to go their separate ways because Saleng’s progress and confidence are being stunted for not playing. If he’s injured it would be another thing entirely, but he’s fit and not getting playing time.

“They should’ve just loaned him out before the January transfer window closed, his place in the team really showed in the Soweto derby as Mohau Nkota couldn’t cope with the pressure that comes with the derby.”

Orlando Pirates are still yet to confirm what's going on with Saleng and his future at the club.

Ex-Kaizer Chiefs star comments of Pirates' penalty

Briefly News earlier reported that a former Kaizer Chiefs star has shared his views on the referee's decision to award Orlando Pirates a late penalty in the Soweto derby.

The former South African international believes the ref's decision is debatable and he would not have given a penalty if he was in that situation.

He also commented on Pirates performance against his former club, and admitted he expected them to win the tie before the game kicked off.
