However, a decision will be made soon as we are now just one month away from the January transfer window.

It all comes down to Chiefs management officially making Blom an increased offer on his wages which they are now under huge pressure to meet given the attention he has caught from other clubs. The reality is, if they do not, they are likely to lose Blom and their is a possibility he could even end up at the Bucs!

Amakhosi management must fight for Blom, at all costs – literally.

Imagine seeing Blom run out for the Bucs alongside the likes of Monnapule Saleng and Kermit Erasmus against Amakhosi in the Soweto derby? Sounds like a dream if you’re a Buccaneer and a nightmare if you’re an Amakhosi fan. One that can be avoided right now if Zwane and Chiefs management can make an offer worthy of one of arguably their best players.
