With growing buzz around Kaizer Chiefs’ interest in Tanzanian international Feisal Salum, the club is set to have an important opportunity to closely assess the talented midfielder in action over the coming week.
Salum, who has attracted attention partly due to his past connection with Chiefs’ head coach Nasreddine Nabi, is viewed as a key target to strengthen the club’s midfield ahead of the new season.
Nabi’s Influence
Nabi previously coached Salum during their time together at Tanzanian giants Young Africans, where the midfielder impressed with his technical ability, vision, and work rate. This existing relationship has played a significant role in sparking Chiefs’ interest in bringing the 27-year-old to South Africa.
Upcoming Scouting Opportunity
Sources close to the club have revealed that Chiefs’ scouts and coaching staff will be keeping a close eye on Salum’s performances in the upcoming fixtures, aiming to evaluate how he fits the team’s tactical needs and overall playing style.
“Having a coach who knows the player well provides an advantage in assessing potential signings,” an insider said. “This week’s matches will be crucial in deciding if Feisal Salum is the right fit for Chiefs.”
Salum’s Current Form
Currently playing for Azam FC in Tanzania, Salum has been a consistent performer but is eager to take the next step in his career. Chiefs could provide the platform for the midfielder to showcase his skills on a bigger stage and challenge for domestic and continental honors.
What This Means for Chiefs
If the trial or scouting period proves successful, Kaizer Chiefs could move swiftly to negotiate a deal for Salum, aiming to bolster their squad depth and creativity in midfield. The club is keen to make smart signings that align with Nabi’s vision as they prepare for a competitive campaign ahead.
