Kaizer Chiefs have a brand-new striker. He has just been allocated his jersey number.
Kaizer Chiefs recently announced three new player signings – Nkanyiso Shinga (left-back), Flavio Silva (striker) and Ethan Chislett (midfielder).
Amongst these is a new striker – Flavio Silva. So, he has been given his Chiefs jersey number.
CHIEFS NEW STRIKER TO WEAR #77
Silva has been allocated the number 77 jersey for Chiefs next season.
“Player Announcements! We are pleased to announce the signing of Portuguese striker Flávio Silva from Persebaya Surabaya in Indonesia,” the club said via social media. “The Guinea Bissau-born player will wear jersey #77. Welcome to the Family!”
Meaning, he will wear the number 77 on his jersey for the duration of his time at Chiefs.
Silva is a striker and he joins the likes of Wandile Duba, Glody Lilepo, Tashreeq Matthews and Ashley Du Preez as Amakhosi’s attacking options.
Meanwhile, Chiefs fans will be hoping for better luck than they have had in recent transfer windows.
Specifically, with strikers. Christian Saille, Jasond Gonzalez and Lazorous Kambole all arrived with high expactations. All of these men failed to deliver on these expectations before being released by Amakhosi.
Moreover, more recently Ranga Chivaviro joined from Marumo Gallents as one of the PSL’s top strikers. However, he was released following yet another underwhelming striker signing made by Chiefs.
AMAKHOSI SQUAD REVAMP CONTINUES
Chiefs have a whole team worth of new players – these 11 new players have reportedly joined the first team. This includes TWO European-based signings, FIVE promotions and FOUR players from PSL rivals.
Meanwhile, they are expected to sign these players from Orlando Pirates, Mamelodi Sundowns and Bafana Bafana.
In contrast, as mentioned, FIVE Amakhosi player departures have been confirmed. Whilst, a total of FIVE more Chiefs players are heading out of Naturena.
