Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi has suggested that the club may not be done in the current transfer window, hinting at potential new signings before the window slams shut at the end of the month.
Having already brought in Portuguese striker Flavio Silva, Amakhosi are still actively scouting for an additional forward to bolster their attacking options. Despite the new arrival, the club continues to struggle in front of goal, sparking speculation that another striker could be added to Nabi’s arsenal.
Zajmovic Linked, But No Deal Yet
One of the names recently linked with a move to Naturena is TS Galaxy’s Dzenan Zajmovic, a Belgian-born Bosnian forward. While Nabi was careful not to confirm or deny the club’s interest in Zajmovic, he did acknowledge the possibility of adding a new attacker especially one with attributes that differ from the current squad.
“I don’t want to speak specifically about the striker from Galaxy. I don’t know if he’s in the club’s plans or if his paperwork has been finalized,” said Nabi. “But if there’s a chance to bring him in especially if he holds local residency then yes, we could consider it.”
The Chiefs coach emphasized the importance of signing a player who would add something new to the team’s existing dynamic: “I want a striker who offers something different, not just someone who replicates what we already have.”
Zajmovic Responds to Transfer Rumours
Meanwhile, Zajmovic has denied any direct contact with Kaizer Chiefs. “There has been a lot of talk, but none of it is true. Chiefs haven’t contacted me. All the speculation about negotiations is false,” the 30-year-old clarified.
Chiefs have also been linked with several other potential targets. Among them are Mamelodi Sundowns striker Peter Shalulile, who reportedly wants a move away from Chloorkop despite being contracted until 2027, and Thembinkosi Lorch, who appears to be on the fringes of Sundowns’ future plans.
In addition, young Cape Town Spurs talents Asenele Velebayi and Luke Baartman have attracted attention from Naturena, as the Soweto giants look to strengthen their squad depth with promising youth.
Clock Ticking on Crucial Signing
With the transfer window set to close in a few weeks, the pressure is mounting on Chiefs to secure a proven goal-scorer who can change their fortunes in front of goal. The club’s attack has been inconsistent, and supporters are eager to see a forward capable of delivering results week in and week out.
As Chiefs strive to re-establish themselves as one of South Africa’s dominant forces, securing a striker who can consistently find the back of the net is becoming a critical priority. For now, all eyes remain on Naturena to see if Nasreddine Nabi and his recruitment team can deliver that final, decisive signing.
Nasreddine Nabi: Final Decisions Still to Come
As the transfer window nears its end, Nasreddine Nabi remains open-minded but deliberate in his approach. While Kaizer Chiefs have already made key additions, the head coach has made it clear that the door remains open for the right player someone who can offer a new dimension to the team’s attacking unit.
“The window is not closed,” Nabi reiterated. “If the opportunity is good, our scouting team will act. But it must be a player who brings something different.”
With time ticking and the pressure mounting, all eyes are now on Naturena. Whether Chiefs can secure that final attacking piece could be the difference between another rebuilding season and a genuine return to glory.
