With Nasreddine Nabi expected to soon be appointed as the new head coach of Kaizer Chiefs, it appears he might bring in a familiar face from AS FAR Rabat, the team he is currently coaching in Morocco.
Siya sources close to the club have indicated that the player Nabi is expected to bring along is Botswana international striker Tumisang Orebonye.

Orebonye, who joined AS Far in January this year from Algerian side USM Algers, signed a six-month contract which expires at the end of this month, making him available as a free agent.
"It's Nabi who signed him at AS FAR and I know he likes him and that's why he has proposed that he wants to bring him to Kaizer Chiefs if he joins them. He only joined the Moroccan side in January and if all goes well he will join Chiefs as a free agent because he only signed for six months there," the Siya source stated.
A second Siya source close to the forward shared insights into Orebonye's potential impact at Chiefs

"It's true. It's believed that the coach had made that request to Chiefs that he should come with Tumi (Tumisang Orebonye) to Chiefs. He is a very good striker though at times his behaviour let's him down. They call him Benteke. That's how good he is. He will have a good impact if Chiefs agree to sign him," the source observed.
The player the insider is referring to is Belgium's Christian Benteke who famously played for Liverpool, Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and is currently at DC United in the MLS.
Soccer Laduma contacted Chiefs for comment, but no response was received by the time this report was published.
