Before the 2025–26 season, Kaizer Chiefs are already in advanced talks to acquire two new strikers, a clear indication that the club is making a move to rectify their offensive shortcomings. The Soweto giants are making the move to rectify their goal-scoring woes and fill the hole left by Ranga Chivaviro's exit.Etiosa Ighodaro, a forward from Nigeria, has joined the club.

Ighodaro has played in the Premier Soccer League (PSL) before, for Mamelodi Sundowns and AmaZulu. Joining the Chiefs on their preseason tour to the Netherlands will give the 26-year-old speedster a chance to get to know his new teammates. The Chiefs could use a dynamic threat, and Ighodaro, with his reputation for direct running and defense-stretching abilities, could be just the guy.Flavio Silva, a striker with Guinea-Portuguese ancestry who is currently playing for Persebaya Surabaya of Indonesia, is another target of the Chiefs.

With nine goals in Liga 1 this season, the 29-year-old target man has shown both physical presence and clinical finishing, qualities that could make him the ideal focal point for Nasreddine Nabi’s attack. Silva appears to have a solid technical grounding that could serve him well in South African football, thanks to his experience in the youth systems of Sporting Lisbon and Benfica.The Amakhosi have made their intentions known with these possible signings; they have had problems with inconsistent strikers in the past few years.

With Ighodaro's speed and Silva's strength, Nabi may have the tactical leeway to employ his chosen style of attack.Chiefs fans can take heart from the club's aggressive stance in the transfer market as the upcoming season draws near. Both deals need to be finalized before the Soweto giants can regain their status as one of South Africa's elite clubs and compete seriously for silverware. The Chiefs will find out in the next weeks how well their new offensive pieces fit in with the rest of the team as they strive to achieve their goals.

Here is the source:"The South African Herald" reports that the Kaizer Chiefs have signed two new strikers.
