Kaizer Chiefs are facing an uphill battle in their pursuit of Congolese striker Fiston Mayele from Egyptian giants Pyramids FC.
The 28-year-old forward has been in sensational form, netting 17 goals and assists combined in the Egyptian Premier League this season.
Mayele’s impressive goal-scoring record has naturally attracted interest from several clubs, including Chiefs.
However, Pyramids FC are determined to hold onto their star man and have slapped a hefty price tag of over R30 million on the striker.
The Egyptian club’s valuation of Mayele reflects their ambition to maintain a strong squad and compete at the highest level.
Chiefs will need to dig deep into their pockets if they are to secure the services of the Congolese forward, who could be a game-changer for the Soweto giants.
Fiston Mayele is a Congolese striker currently making waves in the Egyptian Premier League with Pyramids FC.
Born on June 24, 1994, in Mbuji-Mayi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Mayele has emerged as one of the most prolific forwards in African football.
Prior to joining Pyramids FC, Mayele showcased his talent at Young Africans SC in Tanzania, where he also enjoyed significant success. His ability to find the back of the net consistently has made him a fan favorite and a nightmare for defenders.
As Mayele continues to impress, it is no surprise that clubs like Kaizer Chiefs are vying for his signature.
