NEW: Kaizer Chiefs DIDN'T have R3m bid rejected for striker!
It's clear Kaizer Chiefs are searching for a striker or two to boost their attack ahead of the 2025/26 season. Chiefs have been struggling in front of goal for several seasons now and will look to end those woes soon. Coach Nasreddine Nabi made it no secret that he wanted to bring in a striker, when he arrived at Chiefs. He didn't get his wish in his first window but was able to add two forwards in January. These being Tashreeq Morris and Glody Lilepo. These experienced stars were brought in to supplement a blunt-looking attack which featured Ranga Chivaviro, Ashley du Preez and a young Wandile Duba. While Morris proved to be a flop, Lilepo ended up being the club's joint top goal scorer with young Duba with five. That, however, just highlighted the need for a senior striker to shoulder that goal scoring burden. There have been a number of players mentioned in that regard, with DRC international Fiston Mayele one. Earlier on Tuesday, this publication reported that Chiefs had also made an enquiry for Etiosa Ighodaro. The player has spent the last couple of seasons on loan from Mamelodi Sundowns, and could now be keen for a permanent exit. Another option Amakhosi were rumoured to have an interest in is Simba SC striker Kibu Denis. Reports had recently circulated that Chiefs had put in a bid of R3 million to Simba for Denis. But according to FARPost , those reports are wide off the mark, because the club are not interested in the player. 'While initial reports linked him to several players, sources close to the coach confirm that his primary focus remains on Tanzanian international midfielder Feisal Salum, while emphatically dismissing any interest in Simba SC's Kibu Denis.' Wrote the publication. Chiefs fans, now that Denis seems not to be a target, which striker should the club target for next season? Let us know by clicking on the comment tab.

Kaizer Chiefs chasing THREE attackers from outside South Africa
Kaizer Chiefs are keen to add more firepower to their front line. Here are three names from the African content that they're chasing. Meanwhile, 26-year-old Simba SC attacker Kibu Denis has scored four goals in 12 games in the 2024/2025 CAF Confederations Cup. They face the Moroccan side, RS Berkane, in the final. Perhaps Kibu will put himself in the shop window? He's primarily a left-winger. FIVE foreign stars linked with Amakhosi 26-year-old Ghanaian forward Jonathan Sowah plies his trade for Libyan side Al Nasr Benghazi. He's also got three caps for the Black Stars. Congolese marksman Fiston Mayele broke Orlando Pirates hearts in the Champions League semi-final second leg with a decisive brace; he's got eight goals in 11 appearances in that competition this season. Throughout his career, he has scored 21 goals and supplied four assists from 35 in Africa's premier club competition. Fans would love this rumour to come to fruition. Despite going behind early in the contest, Nabi's Kaizer Chiefs secured what might prove to be a massive point away to Sekhukhune in a 1-1 draw thanks to Glody Lilepo's equaliser deep into first-half stoppage time. It means the Glamour Boys can guarantee an MTN8 place with a win on the final day at home against Polokwane City. However, Polokwane sit two points above Chiefs, although their MTN8 place is already sealed. When is Kaizer Chiefs vs Polokwane? MTN8 crunch time!
