Fans Push for Thulani Serero Signing

Amakhosi fans, in response to the mounting concerns, are strongly backing the idea of signing Bafana Bafana legend Thulani Serero.

Although currently a free agent and reportedly close to joining Cape Town City FC, Chiefs supporters believe Serero would be the ideal partner for Thabo Cele in midfield, especially in their upcoming clash against the league leaders.

Social Media Outcry for Serero’s Acquisition

Fans have taken to social media, particularly X (formerly Twitter), to voice their strong desire for Serero’s inclusion.

One supporter passionately wrote:

Please sign Serero before Sundowns game to partner Cele. We can’t afford to play them with what we have now … Age is just a number, Pirates signed Makhaula.

This sentiment was echoed by many other Chiefs supporters, who believe that the experienced midfielder could add much-needed stability and creativity to the team’s midfield.

Can Chiefs Swoop in and Hijack the Deal?

With Serero’s return to South Africa imminent, the big question remains: Will Kaizer Chiefs make a last-minute move to hijack the deal and bring the veteran midfielder to Naturena? While Cape Town City FC appears to be the frontrunner for his signature, the overwhelming support from fans could push Chiefs management to make an aggressive attempt to secure his services before the Sundowns showdown.

Whether they heed the fans' call and bring Serero on board remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—Kaizer Chiefs fans are united in their belief that an urgent signing is necessary to bolster their squad and stand a fighting chance against the formidable Mamelodi Sundowns.
