Why Kaizer Chiefs could not sign Dzenan Zajmovic explained after transfer hype around former TS Galaxy forward - 'That also traumatized him'

Dzenan Zajmovic left TS Galaxy after spending just a season at the Mbombela-based club.

It was a fruitful season for the 30-year-old, who scored 11 goals in 29 games across all competitions 

That saw him being linked with a move to Kaizer Chiefs, and TS Galaxy chairman Tim Sukazi explains what complicated the Bosnian/Belgian's stay in the Premier Soccer League. 

"TS Galaxy also thrives on a spirit of humanity. Zajmovic had an issue where his family could not be issued with visitors’ visas and he's a family man," Sukazi said on Metro FM Sports as per Soccer Laduma.  
"He said 'Chairman, I can't stay without my family, if I don't have my family here, then I won't be able to perform'. We understood that. When he left, they had overstayed for a day or two, they had to be held up at the airport, that also traumatized him, so we understood that," he added.  
"Yes, he was under contract. We do these things [terminate by mutual consent], you won't understand. We also look at the human element, otherwise should we suppress their careers because we can?"

For now, Chiefs might not be beating themselves for failing to sign Zajmovic who is now playing for Iranian side Zob Ahan.

This is after Coach Nasreddine Nabi managed to sign other forwards, including Flavio Silva, Etiosa Ighodaro, and Khanyisa Mayo.

There are now high expectations on Chiefs to be one of the most prolific sides given the strikers they have, including Ashley du Preez, Tashreeq Morris and Glody Lilepo.

Amakhosi return from the Fifa international break to play against Sekhukhune United on September 16.
