The Kaizer Chiefs are according to reports showing interest in two players: Zakhele Lepasa and Samir Nurkovic.

The 32-year-old Serbian striker recently completed his contract with TS Galaxy, making him a free agent. During his three-year tenure with Amakhalamade a notable impact scoring a total of 13 goals in his first season.

He established himself as a key player for the team under Ernest Middendorp, but failed to rediscover his form in the following two seasons at Naturena.

Will the Kaizer Chiefs steal the Pirates star?

On the other hand, Zakhele Lepasa faced challenges at Pirates under Jose Riveiro. His playing time has been significantly reduced and he has yet to make an appearance this season due to an ongoing injury. That lack of playing time may be a factor in the Chiefs’ interest as they see potential in him once he regains his fitness.

The Buccaneers have enjoyed a great start to the season with the likes of Evidence Makgopa and Tshegofatso Mabasa leading from the front.

Kaizer Chiefs have also enjoyed a good start to the season under Nasreddine Nabi. The club have brought in seven new players to bolster their squad ahead of the current season, it’s worth noting that none of these signings are strikers.

This points to a possible gap in their attacking options, which could explain their pursuit of both Lepasa and Nurkovic as they look to strengthen their frontline.

Kaizer Chiefs suffered their second defeat of the season after a 1-0 loss to SuperSport United in Polokwane on Saturday night.

Should the Chiefs go for Lepasa or Nurkovic?
