Preliminary discussions to sign two new strikers have already begun, suggesting that Kaizer Chiefs would take action to address their attacking deficiencies before the 2025–26 season. The Soweto giants are taking action to address their goal-scoring issues and replace Ranga Chivaviro, who quit the team.The club has signed Nigerian forward Etiosa Ighodaro.
Ighodaro is no stranger to the Premier Soccer League (PSL), having previously dressed for AmaZulu and Mamelodi Sundowns. The 26-year-old speedster will get an opportunity to meet his new teammates on the Chiefs' preseason trip to the Netherlands. Ighodaro may be the ideal dynamic threat for the Chiefs, according to his reputation for straight rushing and defense-stretching skills.The Chiefs are also interested in acquiring Flavio Silva, an Indonesian striker for Persebaya Surabaya who has Guinea-Portuguese heritage.
Nasreddine Nabi may find their perfect striker in the 29-year-old, as he has scored nine goals in Liga 1 this season and has the physical presence and precision finishing skills. After spending time in the junior systems of two Portuguese clubs, Sporting Lisbon and Benfica, Silva seems to have a strong technical foundation that might help him succeed in South African football.These potential additions have been made public by the Amakhosi; they have struggled in recent years due to inconsistency in their strikes.
Thanks to the power of Silva and the quickness of Ighodaro, Nabi may have some tactical freedom to use his preferred offensive method.As the new season approaches, Chiefs supporters may take confidence in the fact that the club is taking a strong position in the transfer market. The Soweto giants can't return to their former glory as one of South Africa's top teams and contend for trophies unless both transactions are finalised. In the coming weeks, the Chiefs will see how well their new offensive pieces mesh with the rest of the squad as they work to accomplish their objectives.
Here is the source:"The South African Herald" reports that the Kaizer Chiefs have signed two new strikers.
