Nurkovic, 28, has failed to replicate his form from his debut season in 2019/20 when he netted 13 league goals in 26 league outings as Kaizer Chiefs agonisingly finished as league runners-up to Mamelodi Sundowns.

This campaign the Serbian star has found the back of the net on just two occasions in 19 league matches.

One of those goals – his spectacular overhead bicycle kick in the Soweto derby as Kaizer Chiefs beat Orlando Pirates 1-0 in March – has netted him the Goal of the Month award.
