In what could be a major coup for Kaizer Chiefs ahead of the new season, reports have surfaced claiming that the agent of a highly sought-after Ugandan striker recently held talks with newly appointed head coach Nasreddine Nabi regarding a potential move to Naturena.
Sources close to the negotiations suggest that the meeting was part of Amakhosi’s renewed strategy to bolster their attacking department with dynamic and proven goal-scorers from across the continent. The identity of the striker remains closely guarded for now, but it is believed that the player has impressed with his performances both at club and international level, attracting interest from teams across Africa and the Middle East.
The meeting between Nabi and the player’s representative reportedly took place shortly after the Tunisian coach officially began his duties at Kaizer Chiefs, signaling the club’s intent to back their new tactician in the transfer market. Nabi, known for his attacking philosophy and sharp eye for talent during his successful spell at Young Africans SC (Yanga), is believed to have personally identified the Ugandan marksman as a priority target.
The striker, described as powerful, pacey, and clinical in front of goal, fits the profile of the type of forward Chiefs have been missing in recent campaigns — someone who can consistently lead the line and convert chances. The Glamour Boys have struggled with goal conversion in recent seasons, prompting an aggressive search for reinforcements who can hit the ground running.
Should the deal materialize, the move would not only mark a significant signing for Chiefs but also highlight the club’s shift in recruitment strategy under Nabi — focusing on scouting emerging talent from East Africa, a region that has produced several success stories in recent years.
While negotiations are still in the early stages, optimism is said to be growing within the Naturena camp. The Ugandan striker’s camp is reportedly keen on the move, viewing Kaizer Chiefs as a major platform to further the player’s career while helping restore the club’s former glory.
Fans will be eagerly watching for any updates, as this potential transfer could be the first major statement signing of the Nasreddine Nabi era. For now, all eyes are on Naturena as the Glamour Boys prepare to usher in a new chapter, possibly with a Ugandan star leading the line.
