Kaizer Chiefs' search for additional striking power ahead of the 2025/26 season has taken a new turn, with a Congolese-based forward now emerging as a potential target for the Soweto giants.
With Amakhosi actively pursuing reinforcements for their forward line, insiders close to the club have indicated that a striker based in Central Africa has been presented to the club's recruitment team for consideration.

Sources close to the player have added that 25-year-old Cameroonian striker Ravel Djoumekou, currently plying his trade in the Democratic Republic of Congo with FC Saint Eloi Lupopo, has been offered to Chiefs as they continue their striker hunt.
"He is an experienced striker who could really help Chiefs at this stage. He has been offered to Chiefs in their quest to sign a striker and now it's up to Chiefs' scouts and analysts to assess him and make a decision after that. But if they make their decision to sign him, then he would be available," the insider revealed to Siya crew.
A second source close to the situation stated that Amakhosi's transfer business is far from complete, with several targets still being evaluated before the new season commences.

"Of course, the club hasn't finished signings yet. They are still looking at other players. Some you may know, others you may not know. So if this striker is good as they say, then the club would be considering him as well, as it's believed they haven't finished signings yet for this coming season," the second source told Soccer Laduma.
Chiefs have already secured signings during the current transfer window but continue to pursue additional targets, including Asanele Velebayi, Etiosa Ighodaro, Dzenan Zajmovic, and Luke Baartman.
Soccer Laduma contacted Chiefs for comment regarding their interest in Djoumekou but received no response at the time of preparing this story.
