BREAKING: Egyptian giants open talks to sign Kaizer Chiefs striker!

As Kaizer Chiefs continue their preparations for the new season, they have received surprise news of an Egyptian giants’ interest in one of their strikers!

It is no longer a secret that striker Caleb Bimenyimana is not part of the plans going forward at Chiefs, with the club looking to get rid of him.

Former head coach Arthur Zwane had often lamented the lack of finishing from his Chiefs side despite signing Ashley du Preez, Bimenyimana and Christian Saile last season. Now according to the latest reports, Chiefs are set to go through yet another revamp and this time more than just age, it will also be the overall contribution that will decided whether a player stays at Naturena for the next season or not. One of those players who is thought to have not had the desired effect is striker Bimenyimana.

Bimenyimana arrived at Chiefs, somewhat belatedly having been released after undergoing a trial during pre-season. It then seemed like a rather strange decision by Zwane and his Amakhosi management to sign a player who they initially did not see as a perfect fit for the club. Just last week, it was reported the Zwane had told the Burundian international in front of his teammates that he was not part of his plans going forward.

It was reported by this publication last month that Bimenyimana had turned down an offer from an unnamed Ukrainian club. It was then believed, that the player was one step closer to joining Moroccan giants Wydad Casablanca, in one of the biggest shocks of the window so far. Now with news of that transfer being delayed due to their impending new coach appointment, it is said that in another shock turn of events, Egyptian giants Zamalek have now opened talks to sign the Burundi striker from Chiefs.

“Yes, it’s true that Zamalek want the player (Bimenyimana) and that they have sent an offer to Chiefs,” said a source confirming the news to Soccer-Laduma.

Well, no matter what problems Bimenyimana might be having at Chiefs, it seems like he is a big hit in North Africa. It now remains to be seen if it will be Wydad or Zamalek who sign him.
