Kaizer Chiefs urged to break the bank for Fiston Mayele - 'He can win us tough games'

Kaizer Chiefs have been struggling for consistency, especially in the striking department.

The Nasreddine Nabi-led Glamour Boys have been playing well, creating clear-cut chances, but the forwards don't take them.

It has contributed to Amakhosi's dismal run in the Premier Soccer League, where the team has collected just three wins in nine outings, three draws, and as many losses as possible.

Nabi admitted he will be in the market for an established striker who can help finish the scoring opportunities created.

Among the players who have been frequently linked with the Soweto giants is the Democratic Republic of Congo's attacker Fiston Mayele.

Mayele worked with the Tunisian at Young Africans SC where he scored vital goals in tight matches.

Former Chiefs defender Mokete Tsotetsi has now explained why the team's management shouldn't think twice about breaking the bank for Mayele.

"We have good strikers that's not a doubt but we need a striker like Mayele who can win us those tough games where we create chances but we can't convert," he told SNL24.

"He has proved it wherever he has played. He did well in Tanzania for Yanga and now he is doing well for Pyramids in Egypt. We need a striker like him. It would be very good if the club could sign him in January.

"The coach and the assistant coach know him very well and that could bring in that understanding between the coach and the player which would in turn help the team," Tsotetsi continued.

"So I think that's why also the coach has been wanting to sign him and even me I believe that if we can sign Mayele we can win more games than we have done so far."

It is obvious Chiefs will bolster their squad in the winter transfer window that will open on January 1.

Nabi and other decision-makers have to ensure they get a player who can help the team get wins consistently to help them finish in the top positions by the end of the ongoing campaign.
