Kaizer Chiefs recommended goal-scoring solution: Is he the one
Kaizer Chiefs.
Chiefs are exploring a potential move for a goal-scoring solution, with the highly recommended forward potentially available.
Kaizer Chiefs recommended a goal-scoring solution, according to Soccer Laduma.
Chiefs are on the hunt for a prolific striker, and Ghanaian forward Jonathan Sowah has emerged as a potential target. The 24-year-old, currently playing for Al Nasr Benghazi in Libya, has been presented to the Soweto giants as a viable option to bolster their attacking lineup.
Source confirm Chiefs’ interest in Sowah
Club insiders have revealed that Chiefs are actively evaluating Sowah among other options. “For now, they are not sure which striker they are getting or not. It is kind of hide and seek. They are monitoring and enquiring about Jonathan Sowah. There are a number of players – mainly strikers – that the club is looking at,” a source shared.
This strategic exploration comes as Chiefs prioritize meeting the coach’s tactical needs while grappling with budgetary constraints. Top-tier targets may be out of financial reach, prompting the club to consider alternatives like Sowah, who scouts believe aligns with their needs.
Why Sowah could be the perfect fit
Scouts with prior ties to Kaizer Chiefs have recommended Sowah, emphasizing his goal-scoring potential. “Each team has scouts who identify players according to your needs at that particular time, and that’s why they have offered Jonathan Sowah to Chiefs. The club needs a striker who can help them score goals,” another insider explained.
Chiefs’ struggles in converting chances have been well-documented, and Sowah’s ability to finish opportunities could address this glaring issue. The scouts’ confidence in the Ghanaian international stems from his proven record and suitability for Chiefs’ playing style.
Contract and negotiations: What’s next?
Jonathan Sowah is under contract with Al Nasr Benghazi until December 31, 2025. He joined the Libyan club in January last year after a successful stint with Medeama in Ghana’s top flight, where he scored an impressive 19 goals in 35 games.
Despite this, Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly preparing to make a formal offer. Successful negotiations will determine if Sowah makes the move to South Africa.
