Kaizer Chiefs on what will turn out to be the most severe ominous blunder regarding the unfolding season.
Kaizer Chiefs have found a dilemma with veteran PSL player Gaston Sirino, hence they are looking for alternatives within Soweto.
Not surprisingly, Kaizer Chiefs are on the move, trying to lure in a number of players during the upcoming January transfer window.
Replacing an experienced midfielder with another would be, together with signing a striker, the topmost priority of Kaizer Chiefs in the summer window, and that’s where Salum comes into the picture.
The Azam FC playmaker will reportedly be priced around R13 million, but has to be lured with an irresistible remuneration of not less than R220,000 per week.
According to him what has happened with Sirino?
“You see it is a little tricky with the Sirino situation. The management supports him and actually that is the problem. The coach doesn’t want him; he was signed by management and scouts and agents. At the moment he really is one of the best players in the team and he has to play. But if the coach had another player who played in that position then he would be using that player and not Sirino. As far as the indiscipline is concerned – he is not (that type of person). He is a senior guy and leads by example. and management appreciates him and is behind him,” a Soccer Laduma source confirmed.
Unfortunately for Kaizer Chiefs, with Sirino being their best player, if not the best, this season, finding an adequate successor for the 33-year-old becomes a significant task. Otherwise, more disappointing headings could end up in the season book.

Betway Premiership – Kaizer Chiefs vs TS Galaxy
Kaizer Chiefs will journey into the penultimate Betway Premiership clash of the year on Monday, 16 December, against TS Galaxy, trying to revive their turnaround in the season.
In fact, from the beginning of time, it has been another season, or year even, in which so much could be remembered by the sore, aching supporters of Kaizer Chiefs.
Amakhosi began their season with the promise of something good ahead with new coach, Nasreddine Nabi, but they find themselves in the lower half of the Betway Premiership standings as the New Year approaches.
Currently, the Glamour Boys would miss out on qualifying for next season’s MTN8 just as they did this season.
Now trailing huge distances behind their rivals, the Orland Pirates
After the eight matches, Kaizer Chiefs are down in ninth position in the 16-team league with 11 points.
The Soweto giants take a close dip toward the bottom of the log (six points) by overshadowing log leaders and defending champions by Mamelodi Sundowns (10 points).
Worst of it all – the 10 points adrift behind their hated rivals Orlando Pirates.
Three games won, three drawn, and two lost – that has been the record for the Glamour Boys thus far.
Worse still, they have only managed to find the target on 12 occasions, while their defense has been breached in equal measure.
NO team has conceeded as many goals as Kaizer Chiefs this season.
After their match against Amakhosi on Monday, the 2024 commitments will be concluded at home against Chippa United on Sunday, December 29.
