Chiefs Transfer News: Amakhosi urged to consider ignored Pirates star

Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs have been doing relatively well as opposed to the previous seasons.

They have managed to collect 26 points in the 13 games they have played so far, four less than leaders Orlando Pirates. Despite having Khanyisa Mayo, Flavio Silva and Etiosa Ighodaro as the main strikers. Tashreeq Morris has struggled to deliver explaining he has not been considered regularly.

Amakhosi have been creating many chances but still strikers have been struggling to take them.

According to Orlando Pirates legend Phumlani Mkhize, Tshegofatso Mabasa is the striker who the Glamour Boys need to excel. He argues that he has all the qualities to deliver for Chiefs.

Mabasa: is he what Chiefs are missing?

“Mabasa is a player I still need at Pirates, but the coach believes otherwise. So a move to Kaizer Chiefs would be the best move of his football career. Kaizer Chiefs need a target man and a finisher like Mabasa upfront,” Mkhize concluded.

“I see Flavio Da Silva, but the thing is, he lacks that thing that Kaizer Chiefs supporters are expecting from a Kaizer Chiefs striker. But Mabasa will fit in perfectly at Kaizer Chiefs because the football they are playing does not differ that much from the one Pirates are playing.

“Mabasa would be the best signing for Chiefs because he’s got goals in him and Chiefs need goals. He is a hardworking striker. His awareness in the box is second to none. He knows exactly where the goals are, and he’s good at one-on-ones.

“Pirates’ loss would be Kaizer Chiefs’ gain if he happens to go there. He is a true striker, hence there are always questions around his exclusion from the national team. Mabasa can score and provide assists,” he concluded.
