Kaizer Chiefs are on the verge of securing a dramatic transfer coup, overtaking Mamelodi Sundowns in the race to sign Tanzanian midfield ace Feisal Salum from Azam FC.
Despite Sundowns offering a more lucrative package, Salum is now leaning towards a move to Naturena, thanks to Kaizer Chiefs’ strategic approach. A high-level visit by Chiefs officials to Tanzania reportedly turned the tide in their favour, with sources claiming all personal terms have now been agreed upon.
“The visit to Tanzania by Kaizer Chiefs’ officials has changed most of the things concerning Feisal Salum’s move to South Africa,” a source close to the deal revealed.
The presence of newly appointed coach Nasreddine Nabi in Tanzania is believed to have played a crucial role in convincing Salum to choose the Glamour Boys. The club’s football vision and personal connection with the player appear to have outweighed the financial incentives offered by Sundowns.
In a smart twist, Chiefs are also expected to include goalkeeper Fiacre Ntwari as part of the deal. Azam FC reportedly rate the Rwandan shot-stopper highly, making the swap deal even more enticing.
This tactical move underscores Kaizer Chiefs' determination to rebuild with purpose and intent under coach Nabi’s leadership.
While money often dictates the outcome of transfer sagas, this deal highlights the power of relationships, vision, and long-term planning. Salum is reportedly excited about what Chiefs are building and feels a strong alignment with their football philosophy.
If finalised, Salum could be the creative force Chiefs have been searching for in midfield
