Kaizer Chiefs could look to sacrifice striker Tashreeq Morris after just seven months at the club.
The 31-year-old forward has struggled to find his feet at Naturena, having signed from SuperSport in January. Morris only scored once for Chiefs in the nine matches he played for the club last season.
According to Soccer Laduma, Kaizer Chiefs are set to make changes to the attacking department, with indications that Tashreeq Morris could be sacrificed.
“The technical team wants to have strikers with wingers believed to be playing a part in the attack. In their restructuring of the squad, they are believed to be looking at releasing one or two strikers, with Tashreeq Morris’ name being bandied about. We will see after the pre-season for the final decision on which strikers will be sacrificed,” a source revealed to Siya crew.
Kaizer Chiefs to release more players?
“As much as the team is believed to be looking at releasing strikers, they are still looking at signing at least one more attacking midfielder. They are talking about a winger or another number 10. I think that could be last signing for this window,” the source added.
So far, seven players have left Kaizer Chiefs in the last seven weeks. Club captain Yusuf Maart has left Amakhosi to join newly-promoted Austrian Football Bundesliga outfit, SV Ried.
The 29-year-old joined Chiefs from Sekhukhune United in July 2022, making his debut away to Royal AM the following month, and featured in 95 matches in the Gold & Black in all competitions, scoring seven times, including the winning goal in last season’s Nedbank Cup Final.
