Kaizer Chiefs are expected to announce a few brand new players for next season. Before that, a few names such as Keagan Dolly are set to make way.
KEAGAN DOLLY TO LEAVE KAIZER CHIEFS?
It’s been a while since Amakhosi supporters watched the 31-year-old injured Dolly in action for Kaizer Chiefs. According to iDiskiTimes‘ leading reporter Lorenz Kohler, the club is considering parting ways with the Johannesburg-born star or offering him a reduced salary payment.
“Kaizer Chiefs are said to be considering the exit of Keagan Dolly as they look to restructure the club and technical team in the off-season,” the report said.
“As one of the highest-paid players at the club, early discussions have been lowered terms, as was the case with Khama Billiat, who eventually parted ways without a response to the renewal at Amakhosi before resurfacing in Zimbabwe with Yadah FC,” Kohler added.
Kaizer Chiefs interim coach Cavin Johnson was also asked to reveal whether Dolly is leaving or not.
“That’s a blunt question to ask me at this time of the [season] only because Keagan has been out [injured], and Keagan is out injured now at the moment,” Johnson replied.
“If I said this and that, it looks very much like I haven’t given much for Keagan to say, but I think we have to leave that for the end of the season,” the Kaizer Chiefs tactician concluded.
