    Kaizer Chiefs’ preparations for next season have taken an intriguing twist, with head coach Nasreddine Nabi reportedly jetting off to Egypt in pursuit of a proven goal scorer. With continental silverware firmly in the club’s sights, his latest scouting mission signals just how serious the Glamour Boys are about rebuilding with intent.

    Strategic Moves for Continental Glory

    Chiefs are clearly not leaving anything to chance as they revamp their squad ahead of a crucial season. Club insiders suggest that Nabi is personally involved in identifying key signings, particularly those who can elevate the team’s competitiveness beyond the local league.

    After a scouting trip to Tanzania—where the club is said to be closing in on Azam FC midfielder Feisal Salum—Nabi’s next destination was Egypt. His presence at the CAF Champions League final raised eyebrows, with sources revealing he was there to assess none other than Fiston Mayele.

    Familiar Face in Mayele

    The Congolese forward, now at Pyramids FC, is no stranger to Nabi. The two worked together at Tanzanian side Yanga SC, where Mayele’s clinical finishing played a central role in the club’s domestic and continental success. It’s no surprise then that Nabi views him as a player capable of transforming Chiefs’ attack.

    According to a source close to the club, “Nabi knows exactly what Mayele brings. He’s not just looking for players to compete in the PSL—he’s building a squad that can make a mark in Africa. Mayele fits that plan perfectly.”

    A Long-Standing Interest Rekindled

    Chiefs’ interest in Mayele isn’t new. The Soweto giants were reportedly tracking him long before his move to Egypt, even missing a window where he was available at no cost. Since then, the striker has flourished and now tops the CAF Champions League scoring charts.

    A second insider revealed that Chiefs had cooled their pursuit after Mayele’s transfer value surged at Pyramids FC. “They felt the price was getting too high, and the deal stalled. But Nabi’s recent visit could change things. If he can persuade the player and the club agrees to spend, this could still happen,” the source explained.

    Budget Constraints Could Be a Factor

    While Mayele is seen as an ideal signing to boost Chiefs’ continental aspirations, financial considerations remain a potential obstacle. The player’s value has grown significantly, and negotiating a transfer from an Egyptian powerhouse like Pyramids FC won’t come cheap.

    Still, Nabi’s direct involvement and belief in Mayele’s abilities could influence decision-makers at Naturena. The striker’s Champions League form, combined with his history with Nabi, adds weight to his potential arrival.

    The Clock Is Ticking on a Key Decision

    Kaizer Chiefs have yet to respond publicly to the growing speculation, but the club’s intent is clear. With Nabi travelling across the continent to personally scout talent, there’s no doubt that Mayele is high on his wish list.

    The big question is whether Chiefs are willing to break the bank for a player who could spearhead their African resurgence. Time will tell if this long-standing chase will finally come to an end during this transfer window.

    Could Mayele Be the Spark Chiefs Have Been Missing?

    As anticipation builds, all eyes are on Naturena. Chiefs fans will be hoping the club finally secures the signature of a striker tailor-made for the continental stage. If the deal goes through, it may be the turning point the club has desperately needed in their journey back to the top.
