Kaizer Chiefs is becoming an increasingly difficult place to perform at.

While some say it’s due to the pressure fans put players under, it may just be something in the water at Naturena…

Many talented players have joined the club with high expectations during recent years, only to leave the club shortly thereafter in underwhelming fashion.

According to the latest transfer gossip, two more Kaizer Chiefs players could soon join the long list of ‘heroes to zeros’!

According to the latest transfer reports, Kaizer Chiefs are considering offloading George Matlou in the upcoming January transfer window.

Matlou has shown glimpses of his silky talent however, he’s oddly struggled to get consistent game-time throughout his two-and-a-half-year spell at Naturena.

Another player tipped to leave Naturena is Bongani Sam! The talented wing-back joined the Amakhosi in a surprise move at the beginning of the season from rivals Orlando Pirates.

Sam, a player many Amakhosi fans can add some value to their struggling team, is yet to make his official debut at the club!

Despite only joining the club six months ago, and not being given a chance to play in an official match, Soccer Laduma reports suggest the 27-year-old could soon be on his way out!

The Tunisian tactician joined the Glamour Boys with high expectations however things haven’t gone exactly to plan thus far.

With growing frustration and no end in sight to their woes, is Nabi planning to throw in the towel at Naturena?

Nabi remains committed to Kaizer Chiefs job

According to the latest reports, Nasreddine Nabi has rejected an approach from Moroccan giants Raja Casablanca as remains committed to Kaizer Chiefs!

“Earlier this week, the Moroccan club’s hierarchy is said to have reached out to Nabi’s management team. However, Nabi’s management team made it clear that he was fully committed to his project at Chiefs,” a FARPost report read.
