With Kaizer Chiefs under pressure to make marquee signings ahead of the new season, would want-away Orlando Pirates forward, linked with Amakhosi, fit in?
After Chiefs finished a lowly ninth in the Betway Premiership, they would be under pressure to reinforce the squad in the off-season, regardless of who is the coach.

Saleng, who has not played for his club since December last year, has been disgruntled and for a period of time was AWOL at The Ghosts, due to contractual issues.
The former Free State Stars attacker is rumoured to have signed a pre-contract with Amakhosi, who are in desperate need of quality.
Should the rumours be true, however, former Orlando Pirates midfielder Benedict 'Tso' Vilakazi believes the Bafana Bafana attacker would not fit in at The Glamour Boys.
"Is he (Saleng) that type of a player that can really play for Chiefs, the way they are playing? I don't think so. An example, look at (Gaston) Sirino, he's no more the Sirino we knew at Sundowns, because of the type of players surrounding him," Vilakazi said on omniaudioafrica YouTube Channel.
"What's happening to Sirino now, is the same thing that happened to Khama Billiat. The same thing that happened to Keagan Dolly and now it's happening to Sirino, you cannot have Sirino alone and not have other good players surrounding him.

"Obviously he's going to have a lot on his shoulders. So he needs support. So even if Saleng goes and plays for Chiefs, he's going to struggle like Sirino is struggling, because there's no core at Chiefs that is very strong, that when everyone comes in (they fit in) like puzzles. Those pazzles at Chiefs are scattered," the former Buccaneer scoring ace added.
Reports emerged in March that Saleng was back training with Pirates but Ezimnyama concluded their season without the 27-year-old featuring since his disappearance.
