Kaizer Chiefs have been linked to many exciting attacking names during this transfer window. Here are the six biggest, including a legend valued at R177 million.
Kaizer Chiefs striker wish list and their approximated values
Chiefs have been looking to sign a reliable goal-getter for some time but their search isn’t just focused on central number nines. The strikers they’ve been linked with in recent weeks include Kenyan legend Michael Olunga, prolific Congolese star Fiston Mayele and FAR Rabat and Botswana man Tumisang Orebonye. On the local front, Chiefs’ pursuit of Cape Town Spurs winger Asanele Velebayi has been much publicized while there have been links to 25-year-old Golden Arrows man Lungelo Nguse. The hottest story this week, however, has been a public declaration of interest in Oswin Appollis by Chiefs’ Sporting Director, Mr Motaung Jnr. Appollis scored a brace for Bafana in their recent 3-2 win over South Sudan.
