Kaizer Chiefs target poised to turn down Amakhosi for Russia
Kaizer Chiefs have several striker targets. However, those players have other options on the table as the winter window approaches. According to Soccer-Laduma , Russian side Beltika have stolen a march on Kaizer Chiefs and made a proposal to sign Etiosa Oghodaro. The 23-year-old Nigerian scored five times in the league last term for AmaZulu, on loan from Mamelodi Sundowns. The promising marksman is valued at R28.5 million by transfermarkt. 'It's a team from Russia. Yes, they've been monitoring Ighodaro for some time now, and it's believed they have eventually made up their mind and they want to sign him. They are happy that he is a big striker who can use both his feet to shoot, can dribble and can also score with his head. That's very rare, and that's what they are looking for. That's what they are looking at. Yes, it's a big club. It's called FC Beltika,' said the source. 'There is a big offer there. Actually, it's a huge offer from Russia. It's approximately $400,000 (R7.1 million). That's over R7 million just in salaries. So that means they are really serious about him. That's the offer in salaries only without the signing-on fee,' said the source. Is Oghodaro worth the fuss? Let us know by leaving a comment below or sending a WhatsApp to 060 011 0211.
