Football analyst, Uche Anuma, during an exclusive interview with Briefly News, shared his thoughts on Shalulile being available to leave Mamelodi Sundowns this summer and why Kaizer Chiefs should sign him.

The Namibian striker is surplus to requirements at Mamelodi Sundowns, with Brayan Leon and Iqraam Rayners being preferred in that position by Miguel Cardoso.

"Kaizer Chiefs should be pouncing on Peter Shalulile this summer, because they need a striker with his experience in their team next season," he said.
"One of the major things Kaizer Chiefs struggled with lack of goals, and they need to come up with solutions for that before the new season kicks off."

He also explained why Shalulile is a perfect option for Fernando da Cruz and the Glamour Boys, despite having Wandile Duba and Flavio da Silva.

"Adding Shalulile to Kaizer Chiefs' squad would be a plus for Fernando da Cruz, with loads of games scheduled for the Soweto giants next season. Shalulile won the CAF Champions League with Mamelodi Sundowns last season which means his experience would be valuable to Amakhosi going into the CAF Confederation Cup."

"Kaizer Chiefs are one of the top three clubs in the Premier Soccer League, and regardless of their performance in recent years, they are always expected to deliver every season," he added.
"I expect Kaizer Chiefs to challenge fo the Betway Premiership, and other domestic cup competitions, and a place in the quarter final or the semi-final of the CAF Confederation Cup. They are even good enough to win the continental football tournament."
