It’s no secret that Kaizer Chiefs are desperate to sign a reliable striker. Should they be necessarily aiming to sign a household name, though?
Three left-field striker targets for Kaizer Chiefs
Dzenan Zajmovic
30-year-old Bosnian star Dzenan Zajmovic has been a late bloomer in his career. However, 2024-2025 season numbers of eight goals and three assists in 22 Betway Premiership appearances are indicative of a guy who can do a job in South Africa’s PSL. Only Sundowns pair Iqraam Rayners and Lucas Ribeiro Costa have scored more than the 1.90m tall marksman this term. His record of a direct goal contribution every other game has raised a few eyebrows.
Yanela Mbuthuma
23-year-old Richards Bay striker Yanela Mbuthuma is a viable target to bolster Amakhosi’s frontline. He has four goals and an assist from 20 league appearances this term. Not shabby for a side struggling against relegation. However, Orlando Pirates are also keen on the youngster.
Muzomuhle Khanyi
26-year-old Muzomuhle Khanyi has been causing a stir in the NFD, scoring goals for fun. He recently bagged a treble to further enhance his reputation as one of the best potential bargain deals available on the market.
Latest Kaizer Chiefs rumours
28-year-old Fawaaz Basadien is one of the steadiest full-backs in South Africa. No wonder two of the big three clubs are taking a closer look.
