Ranga Chivaviro has emerged as a key player for Kaizer Chiefs this season, netting two goals in three league matches. However, the team is currently facing a shortage of strikers, with Ashley du Preez being the only other available forward. Head coach Nasreddine Nabi is exploring options to enhance the attacking lineup and is reconsidering interest in Kenyan striker Michael Olunga, who currently plays for Qatari club Al-Duhail, boasting an impressive record of 70 goals in 70 appearances.
Acquiring Olunga is likely to involve a significant financial investment, as the Chiefs seek a robust partner for Chivaviro to alleviate some of the pressure. Previously, the club showed interest in Congolese striker Fiston Mayele; however, Pyramids FC has decided not to sell him following the departure of another player, Fagrie Lakay.
Sources indicate that Kaizer Chiefs are now focusing their efforts on securing Olunga for the January transfer window, viewing him as a more viable option than Mayele. The club is determined to strengthen its squad with a striker who can complement Chivaviro, especially as Wandile Duba is primarily utilized as a winger under Nabi’s tactical framework. This strategic direction underscores the club's commitment to enhancing their roster in pursuit of success in the upcoming season.
