The insider revealed that the Glamour Boys have agreed on a **three-year deal** with the talented 24-year-old, marking a crucial step in their ongoing rebuilding process under the new technical structure.
While the club is yet to make any official announcement on their website or social media platforms – a deliberate strategy, according to the source – the deal is described as complete. **”Feisal Salum is already a khosified player,”** the insider emphatically stated, using the beloved fan term signifying a player has fully committed to the Gold & Black. **”The paperwork is done. Chiefs just don’t want to show it online yet, maybe they are finalizing the presentation or waiting for the right moment in the transfer window. But make no mistake, he’s ours.”**
Salum, a key figure for Azam FC in the Tanzanian Premier League and a regular for the Tanzanian national team (Taifa Stars), has been on the radar of several clubs due to his creativity, vision, and technical ability in the final third. His ability to operate centrally or drift wide, coupled with his eye for goal and chance creation, addresses a clear need in the Chiefs midfield, often criticized for lacking attacking impetus last season.
**Why the Secrecy?**
The source suggested the delay in an online announcement could be strategic. Clubs often wait for medicals to be fully processed, international clearance paperwork to be finalized, or for the official opening of the transfer window (July 1st in South Africa) before unveiling new signings. It also builds anticipation and allows for a coordinated media rollout.
**What Salum Brings:**
* **Attacking Midfield Prowess:** Primarily an attacking midfielder known for unlocking defenses.
* **Versatility:** Comfortable playing centrally or in wider attacking roles.
* **Creativity & Vision:** Excellent passing range and ability to spot key passes.
* **Goal Threat:** Capable of scoring goals himself from midfield positions.
* **International Pedigree:** Proven performer at club level in Tanzania and for the Taifa Stars.
**Chiefs’ Strategy:**
This signing aligns with Kaizer Chiefs’ publicly stated aim of strengthening their squad significantly. Securing a player of Salum’s calibre, especially ahead of potential rivals, signals serious intent. Adding creativity and goals from the engine room has been a priority, and Salum fits that profile perfectly.
**Fan Reaction Awaited:**
While the official channels remain silent for now, news of Salum being “khosified” is certain to spread rapidly through the Chiefs fanbase. The prospect of adding a dynamic, proven attacking talent like Salum will be met with considerable enthusiasm as fans eagerly await the club’s official confirmation and the sight of their new star in the famous gold and black jersey.
**The Next Step:**
All eyes will now be on Kaizer Chiefs’ communication channels. When the club decides the time is right, the official unveiling of Feisal Salum as their latest signing is expected to be a major moment, marking a positive step in their quest to return to the pinnacle of South African football. According to the insider, that moment is merely a formality – the deal is done, and Salum is a Chief.
