KAIZER CHIEFS STRIKER TO MOVE TO WYDAD CASABLANCA?

After an okayish season for Amakhosi with eight goals in 25 games, the Soweto giants have reportedly accepted an offer from Wydad Casablanca for the 25-year-old Burundian striker.

“Kaizer Chiefs have accepted a bid from Wydad Atheltic Club for the transfer of striker Bonfils-Caleb Bimenyimana as his exit draws closer,” iDiski Times’ Lorenz Kohler reported.

“Wydad opened talks for the player last week after it became clear they needed a new striker for the upcoming King Salman Cup where they are in Group B alongside Al Hilal, Al Sadd and Al Ahli Tripoli, which kicks off in two days.

“It’s believed Bouly Junior Sambou, who scored 20 goals in 41 games last season could be heading to Russia or Turkey before the end of the transfer window and Bimenyimana will fill his role as the lead number nine for the upcoming competition.
