Tanzanian club name their price for Kaizer Chiefs target
Kaizer Chiefs are are looking at a number of options both locally and abroad to boost their attack for nexts season. Chiefs haven't been convincing in front of goal for several seasons now and coach Nasreddine Nabi Nabi has gone on a personal mission to bring some attacking threats to Chiefs , notably in his most recent trip. The Tunisian mentor went back to Tanzania, a country he had great success in with Yanga SC. Part of his mission was to convince big target Feisal Salum to join him at Amakhosi. That, according to reports proved to be a rather successful journey. But Salum appears not to have been the only target that Nabi was trying to lure to Chiefs. According to media reports both locally and in Tanzania, Simba SC star Jean Charles Ahoua. Now according to Soccer-Laduma , Amakhosi are indeed interested 'Nabi was here last month and it's believed that he said he was after Feisal Salum from Azam FC as well as Jean Charles Ahoua from Simba SC. Apparently Kaizer Chiefs have shown keen interest in these two players. It will all depend on the talks now on which one they can sign or if they sign both. But Nabi and another Chiefs official (Tera Maliwa) were here to look at those players last month,' Another source admits that Simba have asked Chiefs to pay R10 million for their prized asset Ahoua. 'They are able to sell him (Ahoua). They are willing to sell him at the price they want. It's round about 600k USD (R10.7million). So Chiefs have to meet that if they really want him. That's how things are with Jean and Kaizer Chiefs,' said the source, Chiefs fans would you be happy to see your club add Ahoua ahead of next season? Let us know by clicking on the comment tab.

Kaizer Chiefs: Tanzanian scouting trip reveals new target
Kaizer Chiefs have intensified their hunt for fresh talent, and all signs now point towards Simba SC's dynamic midfielder, Jean Charles Ahoua. The 23-year-old Ivorian has attracted serious attention following a high-profile scouting mission to Tanzania. Last week, head coach Nasreddine Nabi and Head of Scouting and Recruitment Thembela 'Tera' Maliwa were seen at the KMC Complex in Dar es Salaam. They are attending a Premier League showdown between Simba SC and Singida Black Stars. Their presence fuelled speculation of upcoming transfers and strategic reinforcements at Naturena. While many initially believed their trip centred on Simba SC's 26-year-old attacker Denis Kibu, fresh reports now suggest that Ahoua and Feisal Salum top Amakhosi's wish list. 'Chiefs coach Nabi and the club's chief scout Tera were recently in Tanzania. And part of their visit included watching the match between Simba SC and Singida Black Stars. One of the players that Chiefs have been following is Denis (Kibu). And they hoped to see him in action,' a source revealed. 'There might have been other players the Chiefs technical duo were there to watch closely, which includes (Jean)Charles(Ahoua).' Ahoua's performance in the CAF Confederation Cup has not gone unnoticed. He featured in 13 matches, bagged three goals, and delivered two assists. Which includes a vital strike in the semi-final first leg clash against Stellenbosch FC. His ability to perform on the continental stage adds significant weight to his candidacy for a move to South Africa. With the club under pressure to rebuild and climb back to dominance, bringing in a player of Ahoua's calibre could signal a new era at Naturena. Known for his attacking flair, energy in midfield, and international experience. The Ivorian might just be the creative force Chiefs have been missing.
