Kaizer Chiefs fans question Makaab’s player recommendations!

Kaizer Chiefs fans question agent Mike Makaab’s player recommendations. What you need to know according to Kick Off. 

Recent criticisms from Chiefs supporters have raised questions about renowned agent Makaab, with fans accusing him of favouring Mamelodi Sundowns over Kaizer Chiefs. Makaab, a prominent figure in football management, recently sparked speculation by suggesting he had offered a striker to Chiefs, without disclosing the player’s identity. This led to widespread speculation that Togolese forward Yawo Agbagno of ASO Chlef might be the player in question due to his links with Amakhosi.

Makaab reveals details on player offers and rebuffed talent

In response to the allegations, Makaab disclosed that Chiefs had turned down a striker he considers the best on the African continent. Despite his assertion, Chiefs fans have remained unconvinced, arguing that Makaab consistently directs top talent from his agency to Sundowns. To counter these claims, Makaab highlighted instances where he offered high-profile players to Chiefs, including Andile Jali, who left Belgian club KV Oostende in 2018, Sibusiso Vilakazi from Bidvest Wits, and Sipho Mbule from SuperSport United.

“I cannot force any football club to sign a player,” Makaab stated during an interview on Gagasi FM. His comments emphasise the limitations of his influence over club decisions, despite his efforts to provide quality options.

Kaizer Chiefs’ goal-scoring challenges

Kaizer Chiefs have struggled with their goal-scoring capabilities. Netting only 25 goals in 30 league matches last season, which averages out to 0.8 goals per game. This lack of firepower contributed to their disappointing 10th-place finish in the Premiership. The club’s efforts to address this issue through new signings have been lacklustre. With their most notable acquisition being 33-year-old Gaston Sirino, which has left fans concerned about the team’s attacking prospects.

The recent 4-0 defeat to Young Africans in the Toyota Cup pre-season tournament has intensified concerns about the team’s offensive strength. Chiefs’ inability to secure their primary target, Fiston Mayele from Pyramids FC, adds to their difficulties. Reports now suggest that they are competing with Rulani Mokwena’s Wydad Athletic Club for the services of Yanga SC forward Clement Mzize. Who joined them under former coach Nasreddine Nabi.

The search for a prolific striker 

As the transfer window continues, Kaizer Chiefs are under pressure to find a prolific striker who can resolve their scoring issues. And ultimately improve their league standing. Fans and analysts are closely watching to see if the club can successfully recruit the right talent. That will turn their fortunes around and make a stronger push in the upcoming season.
