Michael Olunga on Kaizer Chiefs’ Radar
While Kaizer Chiefs may have to pass on signing Fiston Mayele from Pyramids FC, they have a strong alternative in mind: Michael Olunga, currently playing for Al-Duhail in Qatar.
An insider revealed to Soccer Laduma that Chiefs are keeping their options open, with Olunga now back in the club’s sights. “They are looking at experienced strikers for the upcoming African competitions, and Olunga is definitely one of them. They are not giving up on him.”
The same source noted that Pyramids FC could be close to extending Mayele’s contract, which, combined with interest from other Egyptian clubs, might make securing him difficult for Chiefs. As a result, Olunga remains a priority alternative if Mayele’s move becomes too complicated.
