Can Tashreeq Morris be the answer to Kaizer Chiefs' goal-scoring woes? SuperSport United striker reported to be on the brink of joining Amakhosi pending medical

With the January transfer window in full swing, Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly closing in on former Sekhukhune United striker Tashreeq Morris, according to reports from SABC Sport SABC Sport.

Currently playing for SuperSport United under ex-Chiefs coach Gavin Hunt, Morris joined the Pretoria-based side in October after leaving Babina Noko.

The 30-year-old forward is said to be on the verge of a move to Naturena, pending a medical.

Morris began his professional journey with Ajax Cape Town (now Cape Town Spurs) and later played for Cape Town City before joining Sekhukhune United.

Known for his physical presence and versatility, Morris has steadily built his career over the years.

Chiefs fans are hopeful his arrival will address the team’s persistent goal-scoring issues.

The lanky forward made his professional debut during the 2013-14 season, boasting over a decade of experience in the PSL.

With more than 200 career appearances, Morris has managed to net 33 goals—a modest tally for a seasoned striker.

This season, he has scored twice in ten games, one of which was against Kaizer Chiefs.

Despite his low goal-scoring rate, Morris offers experience and physicality to the squad.

Additionally, he is a former South African junior international, further showcasing his pedigree.

Morris' potential signing might raise eyebrows due to his underwhelming goal-scoring record—having never hit double figures in a season.

The highest number of goals he scored in a single campaign was six during the 2014-15 season.

At Chiefs, he will compete with Ranga Chivaviro, Wandile Duba, and Ashley Du Preez for the striker role.

With Nasreddine Nabi favoring a 4-2-3-1 formation, Morris could serve as the ideal target man to support play and convert chances.

While critics question his scoring ability, his presence could bring tactical flexibility to Chiefs' attack.

Whether Morris can thrive under the pressure of Naturena remains to be seen.

Chiefs face in-form Sekhukhune United next, a crucial match for Nabi’s side.

Following a disappointing loss to Golden Arrows, Chiefs are desperate to get back on track.

Securing a win is vital to restore momentum and confidence within the squad.
