BRUCE BVUMA REVEALS KAIZER CHIEFS AMBITIONS
Speaking to the media before the game, Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Bruce Bvuma said the aim is not just the top 8.
“Despite our recent form falling below the standards we set for ourselves, it is still our intention to win all of our remaining games in order to finish as high as possible,” Bvuma said via iDiskiTimes.
“Obviously, Top 8 is the minimum requirement and with the group of players we have, I believe we are capable of winning every game until the end of the season.
“Let me be clear, as Kaizer Chiefs we should always be competing for first place in any competition but we have been through a tough patch and we are determined to finish as well as we can,” the Kaizer Chiefs number one concluded.
In other Amakhosi news, Jasond Gonzalez is leaving Naturena.
There was much excitement when the 24-year-old Colombian arrived at Amakhosi in August last year. The agreement was a season-long loan contract. With 12 scattered appearances, mostly as a substitute, zero goals and an option to offer a new contract, Kaizer Chiefs have decided they won’t renew Gonzalez’s deal.
“This publication has learnt, that the physical striker will return to Bolivian club Real Santa Cruz at the end of the 2023/24 DStv Premiership season,” iDiskiTimes Lorenz Kohler reported.
“His loan deal, which had an option to make the deal permanent for $180,000 (R3.4 million) will not be pursued further after failing to score in his 12 games for Amakhosi,” the report added.
Existing Kaizer Chiefs striker options:
- Ranga Chivaviro (31): Two goals and one assist in 19 games
- Wandile Duba (19): One goal in seven appearances.
Note: Ashley du Preez and Christian Saile arrived as strikers but have been playing on the right or left flanks.
