Experienced PSL striker won't join Pirates but could sign for Kaizer Chiefs for free
Former TS Galaxy striker Dzenan Zajmovic could be an option for Kaizer Chiefs, with Orlando Pirates reportedly not interested. The experienced striker scored eight goals for the Rockets last season and has since been without a club. North African teams are interested in his services, but the Bosnian forward wants to return to the PSL. Speaking to KickOff , Zajmovic revealed that two PSL teams have contacted him recently but did not disclose the names. 'Two clubs have already contacted from the PSL. South Africa is a nice country with a good league, and I would love to continue playing there at a new club,' Zajmovic told KickOff . 'I felt at home and will never shut a door for anything to do with South Africa, and my wife and kids know about it. It was an amazing experience being in South Africa. Soccer Laduma reported that Pirates were not keen to sign the 30-year-old striker, leaving Kaizer Chiefs as one of the potential clubs. 'Right now, Pirates is not a likely destination,' a reliable source told the publication. 'There have been rumours, but nothing solid. What's more likely is a move to North Africa, possibly Algeria, where there is interest – and the chance to work again under Sead Ramovic could be part of the equation,' the source added. Kaizer Chiefs signed striker Flavio Silva earlier this month, however, the Portuguese forward is yet to fire. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 0211.
