Kaizer Chiefs to sign striker with 33 goals in 36 matches?

Kaizer Chiefs clearly mean business. This reported target is a goal machine at Qatar’s Al-Duhail.

KAIZER CHIEFS TO SIGN MICHAEL OLUNGA?

Olunga, who is the captain of the Kenyan national side, has scored 11 goals in 10 matches for Al-Duhail this term. He also scored 22 goals in 26 matches last season, for a total of 33 goals in 36 matches.

According to reports across local media and in Kenya, Amakhosi are eyeing the 30-year-old Michael Olunga of Al-Duhail in the Qatar Super League.

Kaizer Chiefs initially wanted to sign the Congolese striker Fiston Mayele from Pyramids FC in Egypt, but Olunga has since become the main target.

“You see, at the moment, the Fiston Mayele mission looks impossible because after losing Fagrie Lakay, Pyramids FC don’t want to lose Mayele as well. That’s why Chiefs are now looking at Michael (Olunga) for January as well,” a source told Soccer Laduma.

“So they are revisiting that interest. They feel it will be much easier getting Michael at this point than to stay on the Mayele chase.

“Yes, the main focus in January is on a striker and since it’s becoming clear that they may not get Fiston Mayele, they have reignited interest in Michael Olunga. But whatever the team does, they want to have a striker in January to play with Ranga (Chivaviro). At the moment Ranga is their main striker while Wandile (Duba) is like a second striker but more of a winger from Nabi’s point of view. So they are looking at Olunga once again,” a second source told the outlet.

James Freemantle took a deeper look at Michael Olunga.
