Wydad Athletic Club head coach Rulani Mokwena has publicly praised Tanzanian midfielder Feisal Salum, describing him as "one of the best on the continent" amid strong transfer interest from Kaizer Chiefs.
According to an exclusive interview with Azam TV, Mokwena expressed deep admiration for the 27-year-old playmaker's abilities both on and off the field.
The talented Salum currently plays for Azam FC in Tanzania's top flight, where he has registered an impressive tally of four goals and 12 assists this season.
Kaizer Chiefs manager Nasreddine Nabi, who previously worked with Salum at Young Africans, transformed the midfielder from a defensive role into an attacking position.
Mokwena specifically highlighted Salum's exceptional character, stating: "He's a very good player, one of the best on the continent. For me, Feisal is very special, and I like his personality not only as a footballer but also as a human being."
The Zanzibar-born midfielder recently featured for Tanzania's national team in their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Morocco, where they suffered a 2-0 defeat.
Azam FC spokesperson Thabit Zacharia confirmed the club's stance on potential transfers, saying: "We have no plans to let Feisal go. But if a team makes an offer that meets our expectations, we will not stand in his way."
Multiple sources close to the situation reveal that Simba SC, under South African coach Fadlu Davids, are also pursuing Salum's signature.
The highly sought-after midfielder remains under contract with Azam FC until June 2026, having joined from Young Africans in 2023.
FARPost understands that Salum is eager to secure a move during the upcoming transfer window, with Kaizer Chiefs leading the race for his signature
