Kaizer Chiefs are looking across the African continent for new names to potentially improve their playing squad.
25-year-old Maxwell Nzengeli played six games in the Champions League without scoring last season.
Meanwhile, the club has distanced itself from a move for Percy Tau.
Kaizer Chiefs are looking at Congolese striker Nzengeli
It’s not the first time Kaizer Chiefs have scouted a Congolese striker. Fans will remember that things didn’t pan out so well for Christian Saile. Maxwell Nzengeli played six times in the Champions League last season but failed to trouble the scorers, so he’s hardly set the world alight. As ever, there is pressure on the Chiefs board to make a big splash this window. Nzengeli has five caps and one goal for DR Congo.
“Apparently, Maxwell Nzengeli is one player they are also looking at. Coach Nabi knows him already, and the scouts and recruiters are also believed to have liked him and are looking at the possibility of getting him, depending on the conditions around the transfer.
FIVE Amakhosi stars are leaving the club before 2025-2026

Is Nzengeli the right guy for Chiefs to be targeting?
