Kaizer Chiefs reportedly eye Zajmović after TS Galaxy exit
'Unfortunately, my chapter at TS Galaxy has come to an end. I would like to thank the chairman, the head coach, the club director, the whole staff and last but not least my AMAZING TEAMMATES. It truly felt like being part of a family,' Zajmović posted, highlighting the emotional bond he formed at the club.
Chiefs' ongoing struggle for consistency in front of goal makes Zajmović a tempting option. During the 2024/2025 campaign, he scored 11 goals across all competitions, including seven in the Betway Premiership, three in the Nedbank Cup and one in the Carling Knockout. The 30-year-old also chipped in with two assists in 28 appearances, underlining his contribution beyond just goals.
Kaizer Chiefs need a striker who can deliver under pressure and link up well in attack, Zajmović ticks those boxes.
His exit comes at a chaotic time for TS Galaxy, who are grappling with their fourth FIFA-imposed transfer ban in under a year. With the club unable to strengthen their squad, Zajmović's departure may present a golden opportunity for Kaizer Chiefs to pounce.
With Edson Castillo reportedly on his way out of Naturena, a foreign player slot could soon become available. Clearing the path for the Bosnian hitman's potential arrival.
Zajmović isn't just a proven finisher, he brings character and leadership, qualities that would resonate in the Chiefs dressing room. His farewell message speaks volumes about his professionalism and the value he places on team unity.
If Kaizer Chiefs want to challenge for silverware next season, securing a striker like Zajmović could prove a masterstroke.
Do Kaizer Chiefs need another striker like Zajmović?

Analyst sends a warning to Kaizer Chiefs
Kaizer Chiefs supporters are smiling again. Two wins from two, first a 2-0 win over Stellenbosch, then a 1-0 grind past Polokwane City. The results duly awakened the Amakhosi swagger back to Naturena. But while the vibe is good, former Bafana Bafana and SuperSport United skipper Bongani Khumalo has sent out a reality check. Speaking on SuperSportTV's ExtraTime , Khumalo admitted Kaizer Chiefs are showing signs of a team that can compete, but warned that the foundations are still fragile. Kaizer Chiefs transfer news: Second striker and new winger 'It is very good (Kaizer Chiefs' recent form), but it is important for the players to keep their feet on the ground,' Khumalo said.

So as much as there is joy and there is ease in how they have started, there is still a lot of work to be done. The performance against Stellenbosch was not a great performance, but it was a wonderful result. Confirmed: Kaizer Chiefs will sign another striker 'This time [against Polokwane City], the first half was not great, the second half was a lot better. 'So there are signs that something is brewing, so it is important that they remain calm and most importantly, stick together and see it through,' the former Bafana star added. Next is Richards Bay's visit to the FNB Stadium on Tuesday night. The Natal Rich Boyz are still looking for their first point after losing 2-1 and 1-0 to Marumo Gallants and Golden Arrows, respectively.

Hunt vs Mngqithi: Durban rivalry ignites as Arrows host flying Durban City
Gavin Hunt's experience will be key as Durban City look to establish themselves in the Premiership. Photo: Backpagepix The Betway Premiership spotlight turns to Chatsworth this Tuesday as Golden Arrows host newly promoted Durban City in a clash that promises intensity, drama, and tactical intrigue. Central to the storyline is the renewed rivalry between two of South Africa's most respected coaches: Gavin Hunt and Manqoba Mngqithi. Hunt, in his first season with Durban City, has hit the ground running. The veteran tactician has guided the newcomers to back-to-back wins to open their campaign, signaling that the club is no longer content with merely surviving in the top flight. Hunt's structured approach and tactical acumen have been instrumental in giving Durban City an immediate competitive edge. Across the pitch, Mngqithi's Golden Arrows have experienced mixed fortunes. After a disappointing loss to Siwelele FC, Arrows bounced back with a tough win over fellow KZN side Richards Bay last Tuesday.
