Kaizer Chiefs news: New foreign striker to arrive in Naturena?
Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly looking to sign 25-year-old Cameroonian striker Ravel Djoumekou from Congolese side FC Saint Eloi Lupopo. According to reports, the Cameroonian forward is being offered to the Soweto giants as they continue their striker hunt. In the past weeks, Amakhosi have been linked to several stikers, including Ediosa Ighodaro. This week, Soccer Laduma reported that Kaizer Chiefs were offered a striker, but the Naturena based side are yet to respond. 'He is an experienced striker who could really help Chiefs at this stage. He has been offered to Chiefs in their quest to sign a striker and now it's up to Chiefs' scouts and analysts to assess him and make a decision after that. But if they make their decision to sign him, then he would be available,' the insider revealed to Siya crew. A second source told the publication that Kaizer Chiefs are still looking to add more players ahead of the new season. So far, the Soweto giants already signed six players. 'Of course, the club hasn't finished signings yet. They are still looking at other players. Some you may know, others you may not know. So if this striker is good as they say, then the club would be considering him as well, as it's believed they haven't finished signings yet for this coming season,' the second source told Soccer Laduma .

Kaizer Chiefs news: Post-tour optimism and transfer push
Kaizer Chiefs have returned from their Netherlands pre-season tour with more questions than answers. Despite losing four of five matches, the club's leadership insists the trip was a success. 'We had a very exciting pre-season,' said one insider. 'It was a great space for the team to be in so that coaches can strategise and players blend in.' That optimism might be needed, as the squad is still without a clear solution up front. Management has reportedly given the go-ahead to sign a striker — but only the right one. While several deals have already been completed, Kaizer Chiefs haven't called time on their transfer business. The club is reportedly considering a new striker who was recently offered to them: Congolese striker Ravel Djoumekou 'He has been offered to Chiefs in their quest to sign a striker and now it's up to Chiefs' scouts and analysts,' said a source. Another club insider added that Chiefs are still looking at other options, and may still surprise fans with another signing. The technical team is said to be focused on finding an attacker who can compete in both domestic competition and the CAF Confederation Cup. Whether the offered forward becomes the final addition or if another target emerges remains to be seen. What's clear is that Kaizer Chiefs aren't done yet and management is backing the technical team's plans. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 0211.

Kaizer Chiefs news: Striker search heads to DR Congo

According to sources close to the club, this player has been offered to Kaizer Chiefs. He's described as experienced and capable of meeting the demands of continental and domestic football alike. 'He has been offered to Chiefs in their quest to sign a striker and now it's up to Chiefs' scouts and analysts to assess him,' a source explained. A second source confirmed the club's continued interest in bringing more players in: 'The club hasn't finished signings yet. They are still looking. Some names you may know, others you may not.'

Kaizer Chiefs concluded their pre-season in the Netherlands with a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Twente, marking their fourth defeat in five games.
