Nabi Tanzania meeting may have swung the deal to Kaizer Chiefs

Kaizer Chiefs were believed to be on the verge of missing out on yet another transfer target, Feisal “Fei Toto” Salum, with reports suggesting that Tanzanian giants Simba SC had swooped in and were closing in on a deal. At the time, all signs pointed to Amakhosi falling short in their pursuit.

However, the latest developments have reignited hope at Naturena. According to sources close to the negotiations, Salum’s camp has grown increasingly unhappy with the terms proposed between his current club and CAF Confederation Cup finalists Simba SC.

Nabi wants Salum at Chiefs

Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi, who previously worked with Salum during his successful stint at Yanga SC, is eager to reunite with the midfield maestro. The pair forged a strong working relationship in Tanzania, and their shared history could be the key to closing the deal.

According to a reliable source quoted by The South African, “Fei Toto and Nabi met in Tanzania and he wants to join Kaizer Chiefs.” This revelation suggests the deal is not only back on, but potentially closer than ever.

Secret meeting hints at big move

Nabi personally met with Salum in Tanzania, confirming the seriousness of Chiefs’ interest. It’s clear the door has re-opened for the playmaker’s move to South Africa.

Meanwhile, reports claiming that Nabi also met with Denis Kibu have been proven false. Sources within the club’s inner circle have flatly denied any such meeting took place. In fact, he might have been there for Mohamed Hussien as well, the teammate of Kibu at Simba.

Salum sold on Chiefs project

Following discussions with Nabi, Salum has been impressed by the Kaizer Chiefs project. With the technical team planning a strong rebuild for the upcoming season. The midfielder is said to be fully convinced and ready to commit to the Soweto giants.

If all goes according to plan, Fei Toto could be donning the gold and black of Kaizer Chiefs next season.

Is Feisal Salum a signing that Nabi and Kaizer Chiefs supporters want?
