Kaizer Chiefs have sent their scouting network to Serbia in the hunt for new talent in the striking department.
25-year-old Angolan star Laurindo Dilson Aurelio, aka Depu, is on loan at Serbian side Vojvodina from Portugal’s Gil Vicente.
The striker has also played club football in Angola with Petro de Luanda.
Chiefs chase Depu
25-year-old Angolan striker Laurindo Dilson Aurelio has zero goals and one assist in 24 league games in Serbia last season. Not the most mind-blowing record. He did, however, excel for Angola in a recent Cosafa Cup match against Bafana.

Pre-season tour edges closer
As you’ll know by now, Chiefs are heading to the land of Dennis Bergkamp, Virgil van Dijk and Wesley Sneijder for their European pre-season tour adventure. The Glamour Boys jet out on 03 July and conclude the tour on 19 July. It should be a fun fortnight! George Matlou, somewhat surprisingly, will be on the flight.

Last chance at Kaizer Chiefs for Mdu?
At the start of 2024-2025, Mdu Shabalala was a critical component in the Chiefs side, operating from the number 10 role. His output was healthy, too. However, that has dwindled dramatically. In 27 league appearances last season, he only got four goals and an assist.
Is Depu worth chasing?
