Kaizer Chiefs to ‘pounce' on Sundowns striker!
Kaizer Chiefs have more exciting news in preparation for the offseason window, not only has long-term target Feisal Salum stated his Soweton intentions, but they're closing in on Mamelodi Sundowns striker Etiosa Ighodaro. 'Yes, it's true. Chiefs are believed to have enquired about Mamelodi Sundowns striker Etiosa Ighodaro,' a SoccerLaduma source revealed 'You know the thing is the same people who scouted him from Nigeria for Sundowns are the same who have enquired about him for Kaizer Chiefs.' 'Actually it's not the first time they have enquired about him. They tried before when he was on loan at Chippa United but Sundowns sent him on loan at SuperSport United. But now they are apparently looking at the possibility of Sundowns letting him go and they can pounce on him.' According to reports, Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi travelled to Tanzania to meet with former player and national star Salum – a meet that is said to have gone in favour of the Glamour Boys. 'Nabi reportedly held a crucial meeting with Feisal Salum during his visit. This meeting confirms Nabi's continued keen interest in the dynamic midfielder, a player he has long admired,' an inside source revealed. 'Previous attempts to secure Salum's services hit a snag due to a significant disparity in valuation between the clubs involved. However, the recent meeting appears to have breathed new life into the potential transfer. ' 'Crucially, sources close to the player confirm he is highly receptive to the project and is eager to join Kaizer Chiefs next season.'.

Kaizer Chiefs target drops a huge hint on his Instagram story
Feisal Salum has been a long-standing target for Kaizer Chiefs. With Tanzania landing in Mzansi, the player might have soft-launched his move. Feisal Salum reposted a teammate's story to his own account, where he appears to be lying in a bed wearing a tracksuit top with Chiefs' colours. Make your own mind up about what this means. The player has 1.7 million followers on Instagram, so this is unlikely to quieten the rumours. 27-year-old Tanzania and Azam FC playmaker Feisal Salum will be key for his nation when they meet South Africa in a high-profile friendly on Friday night at 19:30. Stellenbosch star Fawaaz Basadien will skipper Hugo Broos' side while Orlando Pirates man Nkosinathi Sibisi will wear the armband when Bafana meet Mozambique on Tuesday, 10 June. Zanzibar-born midfielder Feisal Salum hasn't replicated last season's form for Azam this time around. His last league goal for the club came back in December 2024, and his side sits third in the Tanzanian Premier League, a massive 16 points adrift of leaders Young Africans. Is he past his best? Can former manager Nabi coax something out of him? Click for the story The Kaizer Chiefs Naturena Village in all its glory. Image: Ernest Makhaya As you'll know by now, Chiefs are heading to the land of Dennis Bergkamp, Virgil van Dijk and Wesley Sneijder for their European pre-season tour adventure. The Glamour Boys jet out on 03 July and conclude the tour on 19 July. It should be a fun fortnight! Will Salum be a Chiefs player next season?
