Kaizer Chiefs are stepping up their pursuit of Stellenbosch FC winger Faiz Abrahams, who was previously linked with Durban City FC. The 21-year-old has attracted interest from multiple Betway Premiership sides this window, with Chiefs now emerging as the latest suitor. League standing: 13th in Premier Soccer League, 0 pts, 0W-0D-1L from 1 games, recent form L.
Who is Faiz Abrahams?
A product of the Cape Town Spurs academy, Abrahams won Player of the Tournament at the U19 Bayhill Premier Cup in 2024. After joining Stellenbosch FC in August 2024, he struggled for game time and was loaned to Israeli side Hapoel Kfar Saba, where he impressed with three goals and three assists in 11 appearances. His form caught the eye of Israeli giants Maccabi Haifa and Tel Aviv, but he returned to South Africa mid-loan.
Why are Kaizer Chiefs interested?
Chiefs are weighing their options, with a loan deal the likely solution. An agreement between Chiefs and Stellenbosch is not seen as a stumbling block, but Abrahams must still agree to personal terms. Durban City FC had been close to securing the winger on a season-long loan, but the move collapsed after failing to reach an agreement with the player.
What does this mean for Durban City FC?
Durban City FC, currently 13th in the Premier Soccer League with 0 points from 1 game (0W-0D-1L), had shown interest in Abrahams but missed out. With goals conceded (1) and none scored so far this season, the club may need to look elsewhere to bolster their attack. They trail league leaders Kaizer Chiefs by 3 points.
