Kaizer Chiefs Pass on Swiss Striker Ruben Del Campo

Kaizer Chiefs have decided not to pursue Swiss striker Ruben Del Campo, despite his notable goalscoring exploits in the Canadian Premier League. The 24-year-old forward, who recently became a free agent, had been linked to a potential move to Naturena, but sources close to the club confirmed that the Amakhosi hierarchy opted against signing him.

Del Campo’s Track Record

Del Campo made a significant impression during his stint with Atletico Ottawa, scoring 12 goals in 30 appearances. His performances earned him recognition and sparked speculation about a move to South Africa, as Chiefs continue their search for attacking reinforcements. The former Atletico Madrid academy player also boasts experience in Europe, having played for Portuguese club Famalicao and Spanish sides UD Melilla and San Fernando CD.

Chiefs’ Decision

While Del Campo’s stats and pedigree were appealing, Chiefs ultimately decided not to pursue the striker. The Canadian side chose not to renew his contract after two seasons, leaving Del Campo free to explore other opportunities. Despite his availability and proven goal-scoring ability, the Glamour Boys are shifting their focus to other targets to strengthen their attack.

The Bigger Picture for Chiefs

Kaizer Chiefs have been actively seeking to bolster their squad, particularly in the forward positions, following inconsistent performances this season. The decision to pass on Del Campo suggests that the club is targeting a player who better fits their tactical needs or long-term vision under coach Nasreddine Nabi.

What’s Next for Del Campo?

For Ruben Del Campo, the search for a new club continues. His experience across Canada, Portugal, and Spain makes him an attractive option for teams looking for a proven goal-scorer. While Chiefs have opted out, other clubs may seize the chance to sign the Swiss striker.

Amakhosi’s Upcoming Plans

As Chiefs look ahead, fans will be eager to see which reinforcements the club secures to address their attacking challenges. With the January transfer window still open, more updates are expected as the club works to build a squad capable of competing for honors.

For now, Ruben Del Campo remains a talented player in search of his next chapter, while Kaizer Chiefs continue their mission to find the perfect fit for their attack.
