Kaizer Chiefs plan to target Azam FC star as interest develops before next window.
Chiefs are gearing up to pursue midfielder Feisal Salum, a move that has captured the attention of supporters. The Tanzanian international has recently been linked with both Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns, indicating his rising profile in South African football.
Salum, who gained prominence at Young Africans under newly appointed Amakhosi coach Nasreddine Nabi, stands out as one of Tanzania’s top midfielders. At just 26 years old, his impressive skills and versatility have made him a coveted player. He excels as a holding midfielder, box-to-box player, or traditional No. 10 behind the striker. Last season, he scored 19 goals, making him the second top scorer, just behind his former teammate Stephane Aziz Ki, who netted 21 goals.
Known as ‘Fei Toto’ in Tanzania, Salum possesses exceptional technical skills that enable him to navigate challenging tactical scenarios. His ability to execute pinpoint passes and his relentless work ethic on the pitch mirror that of French midfielder N’Golo Kanté, making him a valuable asset for any team.
Inside sources reveal Chiefs’ interest
An inside source close to Kaizer Chiefs disclosed details about the club’s interest in Salum.
“Kaizer Chiefs are very much interested in Salum and are actively putting plans in place to secure his services; however, I want to clarify that no bid or formal talks have taken place yet. The club recognizes Salum’s potential and talent, and they see him as a valuable addition to strengthen their squad. While the interest is genuine, Chiefs are taking their time to assess the situation and explore the best approach before making any official moves.”
Salum contract situation and future
Feisal Salum, originally from Zanzibar, signed a three-year contract with Azam FC in June of last year, which leaves him with two years remaining on his current deal. This timeline gives him ample opportunity to continue honing his skills while contributing to Azam’s success. Given his outstanding performance last season, Salum has become a focal point for multiple clubs, including Kaizer Chiefs and Simba SC. As they prepare for potential recruitment in the upcoming transfer window.
As the transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Salum to see if his future lies with the Soweto giants. Fans eagerly await news as Chiefs explore their options to strengthen the squad for the 2023/2024 campaign.
