Kaizer Chiefs top target confirms talks with Nasreddine Nabi!

After yet another underwhelming season came to an end for Kaizer Chiefs, more hard work seems to beckon. Chiefs finished outside of the top eight and miss out on next season's MTN8 title for a second consecutive season. The club were able to finally end their 10-year trophy drought by winning the Nedbank Cup this season. That, however, came on the back of a terrible league campaign were they struggled for consistency. Coach Nasreddine Nabi had been very vocal about a lack of quality in his squad from start to finish. Upon the conclusion of Chiefs' final game of the season, a 0-0 draw against Polokwane City, he spoke up again, Nabi insisted that Chiefs are amongst the biggest opportunity creators in the league. He also believes that with a striker, they would've been much higher on the log. The one striker he signed in January was Tashreeq Morris. He took him off before half-time in that game, a sign that he isn't quite the solution. The Tunisian was honest, however, saying that the lanky striker was seen as a player to push an incoming top striker. It has been no secret that the striker Nabi wants is his former player at Yanga SC in Fiston Mayele. The DRC international striker recently opened up about talks with the Chiefs coach ahead of the next transfer window. 'Yes, it's true (Chiefs rumours). The coach Nabi was in contact with me in December. But this is not the right moment to talk about it. I am focused on the final (CAF Champions League) .'I want to stay focused on the final and finish the season, then I can talk, but at the moment, this is not the priority for now', Mayele told ahead of their first leg 1-1 draw against Mamelodi Sundowns.
