Kaizer Chiefs chase Benni McCarthy’s player

Kaizer Chiefs are unlikely to secure Pyramids FC striker Fiston Mayele. There is an alternative.

KAIZER CHIEFS IN FOR MICHAEL OLUNGA

“They are looking at different options and Michael (Olunga) is back on Chiefs’ radar,” an insider told Soccer Laduma. “They are not giving up on him.

“The thing is they will be playing in Africa next season and they are believed to be looking at experienced strikers who could win them games at that level and Olunga is one of them and that’s why they are not giving up on him.

“It seems there are few challenges with getting Mayele on board.

A second insider at Kaizer Chiefs added: “It’s believed that Pyramids are already planning on extending his contract and then there is interest from other Egyptian teams which makes it hard for the club to meet the asking price. Apparently, as much as they still want him, they are looking at other alternatives, and Michael Olunga is on top of that list of strikers if they can’t get Mayele,” the source concluded.

WHO ELSE SHOULD THE CLUB TARGET IF THEY CAN’T GET MAYELE OR OLUNGA?
