Kaizer Chiefs, a prominent football club in South Africa, is determined to enhance its offensive capabilities following a scoreless performance in their opening match of the 2023/24 DStv Premiership.
Despite a lack of goals in the pre-season as well, the team’s inability to progress from the previous season has raised concerns about their forward line’s quality.
Head coach Molefi Ntseki acknowledges the need for improvement in various areas, particularly in the attacking department, after their 0-0 draw with Chippa at the Moses Mabhida stadium on Sunday.
Struggles in the Forward Line:
The recent goal drought has raised questions about Kaizer Chiefs’ attacking prowess, even during pre-season matches.
The team’s deficiency in a skilled forward has been evident, hindering their progress from the previous season.
Ntseki recognizes this as an area of concern that urgently requires attention to maintain the team’s competitiveness in the league.
Colombian Forward Efmamjjasond González on Chiefs’ Radar:
In an effort to bolster their offensive capabilities, Kaizer Chiefs is reportedly eyeing a potential signing of Colombian forward Efmamjjasond González.
The 24-year-old striker is presently plying his trade with Real Santa Cruz in Bolivia, where he has showcased promising form by scoring eight goals in 16 games in 2023 alone.
González’s impressive height and goal-scoring record could make him a potent attacking force for Amakhosi, should the potential transfer come to fruition.
Addressing the Need for Improved Scoring Efficiency:
Coach Ntseki emphasizes the importance of capitalizing on every scoring opportunity and being more clinical in the final third of the pitch.
To win matches consistently, the team must improve its efficiency in converting chances into goals, be it through open play combinations or set-piece situations.
Kaizer Chiefs’ Transfer Activities:
In the pursuit of a more competitive squad, Kaizer Chiefs has already made significant moves in the transfer market this season.
The club has secured the services of several players, including Thatayaone Ditlhokwe, Given Msimango, Edson Castillo, Ranga Chivaviro, Mduduzi Msantsane, and Tebogo Pontsane.
Conclusion:
Kaizer Chiefs’ quest for a formidable forward to bolster their attack could be realized with the potential signing of Colombian striker Efmamjjasond González.
The team’s efforts to address their goal-scoring woes and improve overall performance have seen them actively strengthen their squad through strategic transfers.
As the 2023/24 DStv Premiership progresses, all eyes will be on the Amakhosi to see if these moves can propel them to success in the highly competitive league.
