Kaizer Chiefs Rekindle Interest in Feisal Salum—Could a Reunion with Nabi Seal the Deal?
Chiefs Close in on Tanzanian Star
Kaizer Chiefs fans, get ready! The long-standing pursuit of Feisal Salum may finally be back on track. The Tanzanian international, heavily linked with Amakhosi in the mid-season transfer window, could now be edging closer to a move following a major shift in Azam FC’s stance.
Salum’s Standout Form Draws Renewed Interest
The 2024/2025 Tanzanian Premier League season has showcased Salum’s brilliance, making him one of the hottest prospects in East African football. Last season’s Golden Boot runner-up has caught the attention of top clubs, including Kaizer Chiefs and Simba SC, with his goal-scoring prowess and creative midfield play.
Initially, Azam FC firmly rejected Chiefs’ and Simba SC’s offers in January, determined to keep their star midfielder. However, reports now suggest that the club is open to considering bids, marking a significant U-turn in their approach.
Nabi’s Influence Could Tip the Scales
One key factor that could sway Salum’s decision is his strong relationship with Kaizer Chiefs’ head coach, Nasreddine Nabi. The two worked together at Young Africans, where Nabi played a crucial role in Salum’s development. With Chiefs eager to reinforce their midfield, a reunion between the two could be a major pull factor in securing the player’s signature.
Will Chiefs Finally Land Their Man?
While negotiations are ongoing, no official bid has been submitted yet. However, sources indicate that talks are progressing positively. If Chiefs can meet Azam FC’s asking price, the deal could be finalized soon, adding another high-quality playmaker to Nabi’s squad alongside Thabo Cele.
Will Salum finally don the Gold and Black jersey? Stay tuned as the transfer saga unfolds.
