A New Strike Partnership Brewing At Chiefs?

As seen in Kaizer Chiefs' Soweto Derby win over Orlando Pirates last weekend, a new strike partnership could be brewing at Amakhosi.

Arthur Zwane, in searching for his second consecutive win over their arch-rivals, threw everything, barring the kitchen sink at Pirates on Saturday.

As a result, the club's two lanky forwards who boast a similar profile in Caleb Bimenyimana and Christian Saile were both on the field as Chiefs went in search of a winner.

It eventually came via an Olisah Ndah own goal, but a seed had been planted for a new strike partnership that could work if Chiefs are looking to deploy a traditional 4-4-2 system.

"I think that I can play with anyone they put there, even if it is Chris. He is a good player. I know that in some games we'll play together," Bimenyimana told journalists of the new partnership.

This season, Bimenyimana has managed seven goals for Chiefs, while Saile has managed one goal and one assist so far.

With Arthur Zwane showing he is not afraid to throw in two of his big boys at the same time, it remains to be seen whether the partnership is one that will be considered towards the end of the season.
