Kaizer Chiefs are keen to make an audacious move for a man who used to score goals for fun in the PSL with Sundowns.
Kaizer Chiefs enter the fray for Mailula
Cassius Mailula, now 23 years old and playing on loan with Wydad AC from USA MLS side Toronto FC, could be returning to SA.
“For Wydad, it will depend on whether coach Rulani Mokwena is still there or if whoever takes over still needs him,” a source told SoccerLaduma.
“Then there is interest from Europe. So, Chiefs have to outbid all the other interest if they are to have a chance of signing him. But it’s true they have shown interest in Mailula.”
“Chiefs have enquired about him, but you know he is a Toronto FC player, and they are the ones to make the final decision.
“Are they loaning him out again, or can Chiefs buy him from them? But as for Chiefs being interested in him, that’s true, and they are ready to fight for his signature.”
Defensive issues before meetings with Orlando Pirates
Injuries to key central defensive trio Given Msimango, Rushwin Dortley and Inacio Miguel meant that Nabi had a patchwork pair of Zitha Kwinika and Bradley Cross. Dillan Solomons and Happy Mashiane are hardly a full-back duo to breed much confidence. Meanwhile, utility man Edmilson Dove is sidelined.
