New update on Kaizer Chiefs and the Cameroonian striker they want to sign.

The future of Nigerian striker Etiosa Ighodaro remains uncertain as Kaizer Chiefs await Mamelodi Sundowns' decision. The 24-year-old, currently contracted to Sundowns until June 2026, has been linked with a move to Amakhosi but remains in limbo.

With the new season approaching, Chiefs' interest is genuine, but any potential deal hinges entirely on Sundowns' willingness to release the player. Sources reveal the Brazilians face a registration dilemma - Ighodaro currently occupies a foreign player slot, with his permanent residency only expected in 2026.

"Sundowns must decide first," an insider explained. "Chiefs are ready to act, but everything depends on whether Sundowns will release him as a free agent or demand a transfer fee." The situation presents a complex puzzle for all parties involved, with the clock ticking toward the season opener.
