Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi opens up on whether the club plan to sign on 12-goal free-agent Dzenan Zajmovic after signing Flavio Silva - 'I don’t want a player with the same quality'

Kaizer Chiefs have struggled to get an impactful striker to take their chances away; the likes of Ranga Chivaviro and Christian Saile are the latest players to fail at Amakhosi.

Saile was shipped out to a now-defunct SuperSport United, while Chivaviro was let go following the expiry of his contract.

Flavio Silva has been brought in to help coach Nasreddine Nabi address the problem.   

In the six on-record pre-season matches played, five in the Netherlands and one at home against Asante Kotoko, Silva struggled to make an impact.

Chiefs have been linked to Etiosa Ighodaro, but administrative issues have slowed down the process.

There have been reports that Dzenan Zajmovic, who scored 12 PSL goals for TS Galaxy last season, is the next available target.

Nabi has responded to those speculations.  

"I don’t want to start about the striker from Galaxy. I don’t know if he is in the vision of the club. I also don’t know if his administrative problem is finished," he told the media. 

"I don’t know. But if we have the opportunity to recruit him, particularly if he has residence automatically, yes.

"The window is not closed. I think if you have opportunities, our scouting team will do the work. If you have a good opportunity, then why not? 

"But I want a player with more qualities than I have. I don’t want a player with the same quality," Nabi concluded. 

It will be vital for Chiefs to get a striker who can deliver this season, since that will help the Soweto giants get vital wins and points.

Silva will get a chance to silence his critics when Amakhosi play Stellenbosch in the Premier Soccer League.
