Kaizer Chiefs Transfer News: African midfielder

Kaizer Chiefs have been known as very keen to sign Feisal Salum from Azam FC in Tanzania.

FEISAL SALUM TO KAIZER CHIEFS FOR FREE?

According to Soccer Laduma, the 27-year-old Amakhosi target rejected a new deal from Azam, while his contract is set to expire in June. The situation leaves Kaizer Chiefs with an opportunity to conclude a free transfer at the end of the season. “If nothing happens regarding his contract between now and June then Chiefs could sign him as a free agent,” an insider told the outlet. “He is believed to have rejected the offer to extend his contract at Azam and we know he is interested to join coach Nabi. So, if Chiefs still want him they could sign him for free this time around.

“There is still a possibility of Feisal (Salum) for next season but it will depend on the other players that the club is looking at in those positions. You know, there is still a lot of time between now and the end of the season, and a lot can still happen. But yes, if he doesn’t renew his contract and the team wants to sign him, then he will obviously join as a free agent,” an additional source said.

PSL PUNISH KAIZER CHIEFS

As reported last week, Amakhosi and Orlando Pirates were punished for spectator behaviour during the Soweto derby on 1 February.

PSL STATEMENT

“Kaizer Chiefs football club was fined R100,000, of which R50,000 is suspended for a period of 12 months on condition that during the period of suspension, they are not found guilty of the same offence,” the PSL’s lead prosecutor Zola Majavu said in an audio press release.

“Sadly and unfortunately, in October last year, Chiefs appeared before the DC facing the same charges in respect of which they were fined R200,000, of R100,000 was suspended on condition that they do not re-offend for the duration of the suspension.

“Now that they re-offended and convicted accordingly, it means the suspended R100,000 is triggered and payable immediately. In total, Chiefs will pay R150,000 plus the cost of the [Disciplinary Committee] sitting,” Majavu added.

“Orlando Pirates were also charged with misconduct arising from a missile-throwing incident by their spectators. They too pleaded guilty as charged and were fined an amount of R100,000 of which R25,000 is suspended for 12 months on the same condition that they are not to re-offend during the period of suspension.

“It therefore means they too appeared before the Disciplinary Committee in November last year facing the same charges where they were fined an amount of R100,000 of which R50,000 was suspended,” the PSL prosecutor continued.

“Now that they have re-offended and have been convicted as such, the R50,000 that was suspended is triggered and payable immediately and in respect of the new offence they were fined another R100,000 of which R25,000 is suspended and R75,000 payable immediately.

“In total, it means Orlando Pirates will have to pay R125,000 together with half of today’s costs which they will share with Kaizer Chiefs.”
