Kaizer Chiefs told 'prayer-warrior' Tashreeq Morris is what they have been missing - 'He was wasting his talent in South Africa'

Kaizer Chiefs have not been taking the many chances created in the Premier Soccer League.

Ranga Chivaviro, Ashley du Preez, and Christian Saile have failed to deliver as anticipated.

Coach Nasreddine Nabi has been asking the management to help him bolster the department.

The Glamour Boys faithful expected a big-name arrival in the winter transfer window.

However, it is SuperSport United forward Tashreeq Morris who is set to be unveiled by the club with Saile going the opposite direction.

The deal has been criticised by some stakeholders who feel Morris is not what Chiefs need.

Nevertheless, Sekhukhune United Sporting Director Macdonald Makhubedu argues Morris might end up proving many people wrong owing to his qualities.

"I signed Morris for Sekhukhune United. He is one of the most underrated players in South Africa, yet very few possess the talent he has," he told Kick Off.

"I once told him that he was wasting his talent in South Africa, he could have easily made it overseas. He is strong in the air, has a powerful shot with both feet and is well-developed. He is one of the greatest finishers you'll find.

"He also has a high work rate, he can press defenders and disrupt build-ups. Tactically, he is very superior. Now we will see the best of him. The reason he hasn't been scoring a lot is that he is a hardworking player. He works for the team, not just for himself.

"At Sekhukhune, there was stiff competition, [Chibuike] Ohizu and Vusi Ncube were scoring left and right. He joined us when those two players were in top form.

"But at Kaizer Chiefs, he will have a significant impact, with him, you can expect three shots at goal in each match. He is also very disciplined and is a man of God. Chiefs have found themselves a prayer warrior. He will pray for everyone," Makhubedu concluded.

At SuperSport United, Morris scored just two goals in the 10 games played across all competitions.

He will need to be ruthless at Chiefs to avoid unnecessary pressure from the fans and all stakeholders at large.
