Flavio Silva, Kaizer Chiefs’ latest signing, is quickly adjusting to life at Naturena. The Portuguese forward arrived with high expectations after a strong season in the Portuguese second division. Early indications show Silva’s versatility as he adapts to Amakhosi’s tactical demands under coach Nasreddine Nabi. His work rate and ability to link play have impressed the coaching staff during pre-season training sessions.
Chiefs fans are optimistic that Silva’s experience and creativity upfront will help alleviate the goal-scoring burden that troubled the team last season. While he is still finding his rhythm in the South African Premier Division, the signs are promising that Silva will become a key attacking weapon.
New striker negotiations underway
Behind the scenes, Chiefs are reportedly in talks with a new striker to bolster their frontline. With the squad undergoing a significant rebuild, the club is looking for a proven goal scorer to complement Silva and other attacking players. The management believes that this addition will provide healthy competition and deepen the squad.
The club has not disclosed names publicly, but insiders say the target is a player with both pace and finishing ability — traits that Chiefs lacked in key moments last season. This strategic recruitment points to a clear ambition: to return Kaizer Chiefs to the upper echelons of the league.
