The administration of Kaizer Chiefs has selected Mamelodi Sundowns forward Etiosa Ighodaro as their top transfer target for the striker position. This decision came after Khanyisa Mayo’s contract with Cape Town City was extended, making it unlikely that Chiefs will sign him. As a result, Ighodaro has emerged as the club’s primary goal.
The Chiefs require a prolific goal-scorer who can routinely score double-digit goals each season. They believe that Ighodaro, who recently returned from a loan spell at Chippa United, is the best prospect for the job. During his stint with Chippa, he scored ten goals in 24 matches. With the Mayo deal seeming improbable, Chiefs management is now focused on retaining Ighodaro. The technical staff and management have both reached an agreement.
The club is eager to welcome Ighodaro to Naturena, their training and administrative headquarters. According to the source, the Chiefs are keen to secure his services, as the Mayo deal appears improbable. Sundowns will have the final judgment on whether a move may be agreed.The Kaizer Chiefs will see substantial changes next season, with a new coach expected to join the team. The current interim coach, Arthur Zwane, will appoint an experienced coach to work alongside him. Furthermore, some departures are likely, as well as new players entering the club. The Chiefs have already announced four departures and three new additions, demonstrating their commitment to rebuilding the team.
