Kaizer Chiefs Now Shift Their Attention to 70 GOALS Strike After Fiston Mayele Move Failed

Kaizer Chiefs are targeting Kenyan captain Michael Olunga who has scored 70 goals in 70 matches for his club.

Kaizer Chiefs appeared to have shifted their focus to Kenyan goal machine Michael Olunga following a failed move on Fiston Mayele.

Amakhosi were reportedly interested in the 30-year-old Congolese striker but his club Pyramids refused to sell their prized star. The Soweto giants have now looking at other options and one of them is Olunga. So far, the club has signed seven players ahead of the 2024/25 Betway Premiership season.

Kaizer Chiefs were not part of the MTN8 competition and will only play their first official match of the season next Saturday. According to a Soccer Laduma insider, Amakhosi are eyeing Kenyan top striker Olunga.

“Olunga has been recommended to the team by scouts. He is a very strong striker, and if they don’t get what they have been looking for, they may settle for him. They have monitored his games and have been impressed. But you know, it’s not a one-man show,” a source told the publication.

“There are other people or parties involved to bring him in. But yes, Chiefs have shown interest in him and things are looking promising,”

Another source said Olunga might be keen to join Kaizer Chiefs but won’t earn as much as he does in Qatar.

“The only thing that could stumble the move could be the financial prospects of the whole deal. You know, coming from Qatar could not be cheap, but if he comes as a free agent, then that would be a different story which Chiefs would be able to manipulate the situation,” he said.

The Kenyan national football team captain is currently with Qatari side Al-Duhail. For Duhail, Olunga has scored 70 goals in 70 appearances during his three years at the club. Kaizer Chiefs might have to pay big money to get the 30-year-old out of Qatar.
