BREAKING: Kaizer Chiefs to sign ex-Sporting and Benfica striker!
Kaizer Chiefs may have finally found the striker they have been looking for in the market if reports are true. It's no secret that Chiefs are searching for a top forward who can help them with their goal scoring problems. Amakhosi have struggled in front of goal for about three to four seasons now with no solution in site. That has since seen coach Nasreddine Nabi become vocal throughout last season about a lack of striking options. Subsequently there have been quite a few attackers linked with Chiefs going into the next season. This as a sign of what they're trying to fix in the final third. Amakhosi, however, have seen the likes of Fiston Mayele, Etiosa Ighodaro, Robert Polievka mentioned as strikers. In the wingers department Oswin Appollis, Elias Mokwana, Mihlali Mayambela and Keletso Makgalwa have been touted. As it stands, it is believed they have signed Ighodaro, Asanele Velebayi and Ethan Chislett for their attack. But that is not where they will stop. According to FARPost, Chiefs are now poised to finalise a deal for Flavio Silva. 'Kaizer Chiefs look poised to secure the signature of Flavio Silva, a Portuguese striker with roots in Guinea-Bissau. Silva is a product of the Sporting CP youth academy, where he began his footballing journey. He is set to join Amakhosi from the Indonesian Premier League club Persebaya Surabaya, boasting an impressive scoring record. The 1.85m-tall striker made a striking debut in Southeast Asia in January 2023, netting five goals in a single match to lead Persik Kediri to a 5–2 victory over Persikabo 1973.' Wrote the publication. Silva has a record of 39 goals in 78 games while plying his trade in Indonesia. He will now look to test himself in the Betway Premiership with Chiefs. Amakhosi, are you happy with this signing? Let us know by clicking on the comment tab. Or by emailing info@ or sending a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.

Kaizer Chiefs set to land Portuguese striker: 23 goals in 29 games
Kaizer Chiefs are on the verge of pulling off a massive coup by securing the signature of Flavio Silva, a Portuguese striker with roots in Guinea-Bissau and a reputation for finding the net with precision. Silva, who sharpened his skills in the famed Sporting CP youth academy, looks set to join the Soweto giants from Indonesian Premier League side Persebaya Surabaya. Silva arrived in Southeast Asia with a bang in January 2023, when he scored five goals in a single match for Persik Kediri to seal a 5–2 win over Persikabo 1973. That performance set the tone for a prolific spell in Liga 1, where he netted 39 goals in 78 appearances. Last season, the 29-year-old striker stood out as one of the most lethal finishers in the region. He scored 23 goals in 29 matches, underlining his consistency and killer instinct inside the box. In his debut season at Persik Kediri, he notched seven goals, and followed that up with nine strikes in 33 games for Persebaya. Described as a traditional number 9, Silva dominates in the air and punishes defences with sharp finishes inside the penalty area. Standing at 1.85 metres, he offers Kaizer Chiefs a physical presence and a reliable goal threat. A source revealed that while final contract terms are still in progress, Chiefs are confident of wrapping up the deal shortly. Born in Bissau, on West Africa's coast, Silva brings more than just goals. He unleashes powerful shots with both feet and presses relentlessly from the front. His positional awareness and ability to force mistakes from defenders make him a nightmare for opposition backlines. A former Benfica B player, Silva has represented Portugal at youth level. And boasts superior stats in ground duels, winning eight per match on average. A figure that outperforms some of the league's top defenders and attackers.
