Mike Makaab opens up on future of reported Kaizer Chiefs transfer target from Golden Arrows as PSL January window approaches

Golden Arrows forward Lungelo Nguse is reportedly a transfer target of Kaizer Chiefs.

Mike Makaab, the agent of Nguse, has come out to respond to the rumours linking the striker to Amakhosi.

“He is under contract at Arrows, there has been interest in him and I like him as a player, I rate him as a player. I think he brings something different to a football club. He’s a big, strong striker,” Makaab told FARPost. 

“And I don’t have to tell you, big strikers are disappearing from the scene at an alarming rate, and when you’ve got a big striker, it just gives you another option. 

“So I think he’s a really talented player, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Golden Arrows get real interest in Lungelo Nguse in the next couple of months.”

Chiefs did not sign any striker in the last PSL player transfer window and that appears to have come back to haunt them as they struggle to find a reliable goal-scorer.

That could make signing a forward a top priority in the next transfer window in January.

But the pursuit of Nguse might be regarded as a path towards making another transfer blunder as the Arrows attacker is not a prolific scorer.

In the four seasons he has played PSL football with Baroka FC and Arrows, he has never scored more than five league goals in a single campaign.

Nguse managed five league goals last season in 24 appearances and never scored in Cup games and this term he has scored one goal in six league matches.

In the two previous terms he played top-flight league football with Baroka, he struggled to score a single goal in league and Cup matches.

It remains to be seen which players Amakhosi coach Nasreddine Nabi will push for the club to make official bids to beef up their squad in January.

The next PSL matches until the end of the year will be opportunities for Nguse to score more goals and become more attractive in the transfer market.
