Marouf Tchakei, the Togolese winger and attacking midfielder, has emerged as a target for a South African club after his impressive performances in the CAF Confederation Cup this season, scoring three goals in four matches.
Reports from 228Foot, a Togolese football news site, suggest that the management of Kaizer Chiefs has expressed interest in acquiring the services of Tchakei to bolster their offensive capabilities.
However, while Tchakei remains on their radar, the 28-year-old is not currently the top priority for the South African club.
Kaizer Chiefs is reportedly exploring other options, including South African midfielders Taahir Goedeman from Cape Town City and Tlakusani Mthenthwa from Moroka Swallows, before making a decision on Tchakei’s potential transfer.
Tchakei’s impressive form in the CAF Confederation Cup has undoubtedly caught the attention of clubs across Africa, with his ability to find the back of the net proving valuable for his team.
His skillset as both a winger and attacking midfielder has made him an attractive prospect for clubs seeking to strengthen their offensive lineup.
At 28 years old, Tchakei brings experience and versatility to the table, qualities that could significantly enhance Kaizer Chiefs’ squad if they decide to pursue his signing.
While he may not be the club’s immediate priority, Tchakei’s inclusion in their considerations highlights his growing reputation in African football circles.
As discussions and negotiations unfold in the coming weeks, Tchakei’s potential move to a South African club could mark a significant milestone in his career, offering him the opportunity to showcase his talent on a bigger stage and make an impact in one of Africa’s most competitive football leagues.
