Wandile Duba ready to save Kaizer Chiefs millions! 'If I'm played as no.9, I will give Amakhosi what they want'

Kaizer Chiefs have been struggling to get an established striker to take the chances the team creates.

Ashley du Preez, Christian Saile, and Ranga Chivaviro have not delivered what is expected of them.

It explains why coach Nasreddine Nabi is desperate to get a clinical forward in the January transfer window.

Wandile Duba has been playing for Amakhosi but on the wing.

It is a different position from where he has been playing during his development.

In the ongoing season, he has played 15 games and managed four goals with two assists.

However, the 20-year-old believes he can save Kaizer Chiefs the millions of Rands they want to invest on a new striker, by getting a chance to play as a forward.

“Everyone knows from my time with the club in the [Diski Challenge U-23 league] I play as a No 9. If I'm played as No 9, I give the team what they want,” he told the media.

“I have discussed this with the coach but he plans in a different way for every game. I can't argue with the coach. My job is to get on the field and play.

“Even if he wants to play me as a centreback, I will get on the field and play because that's my job."

It is unlikely that Chiefs will give Duba the desired chance to play as a striker.

However, the youngster can still prove his ruthlessness from the wing by getting goals regularly.
