Letsoalo To Chiefs? Zwane Makes Bold Statement

May 21, 2022

Kaizer Chiefs interim coach Arthur Zwane has opened up on their transfer targets and made bold statements about the likes of Bienvenu Eva Nga and Victor Letsoalo.

After the 2-2 draw against Swallows left them out of contention for CAF inter-club competitions for the 2022/23 campaign Zwane admitted that many of the current players aren’t good enough.

He waxed lyrical about the need to streamline the squad and rid of players that do not fit into their system and acquire the right players who can take them to the next level.

With Chiefs notably in the market for a striker with Samir Nurkvoic said to be leaving on a free and questions marks surrounding Leonardo Castro, he opened up on two players that have been strongly linked with Amakhosi over the last few months heading into the off-season.

Arthur Zwane questions who Kaizer Chiefs can sign that could compete with Peter Shalulile.

“It’s going to be the biggest challenge to get everyone that we need as a club, that’s my belief right now because when you look at left-backs, left central defenders and strikers… how many strikers do we have in the country right now that have scored more than Peter Shalulile,” he said in the post-match press conference at FNB Stadium.

“Can you get Peter Shalulile from Sundowns? No. Do you understand what I’m saying? There’s only one player that is trying [to keep up] maybe it’s Eva Nga, but is Eva Nga a Kaizer Chiefs type of player we’re looking for? It remains to be seen…

“Is Victor Letsoalo the type of player who can play for Kaizer Chiefs, the answer is yes, but can we get him? Do you understand what I’m saying… So those are the challenges you are faced with and it’s the reality. And the midfielders like the number six, how many quality number sixes do we have in the country that can come play for Kaizer Chiefs?

“So we will have to develop them because we don’t want a number six to go up there and get yellow and red cards, we want a ballplayer, we want to play with flair we want to dominate, we want our people to come to stadiums to watch football.”
