This Is How Kaizer Chiefs Plan on Replacing Njabulo Blom! Amakhosi have seen their crucial player sold to another club.

Njabulo Blom has recently joined MLS outfit St. Louis City from Kaizer Chiefs on a 2-year deal. The club has revealed their plans of how they will replace him.

Blom, 23, made his first team debut at the age of 19. Since then, he has grown to become one of the club’s more integral players. This is because of the versatile nature.

He is able to deputise at right back as well as playing as a central defensive midfielder.

“We have many plans around that,” Club Sporting Director Kaizer Motaung Junior revealed, when asked about his concerns of the transfer.

“As I have said before, we are trying to build a young, dynamic squad with the right mix of youth and top-quality experience. We are already working on our squad audit and the areas we feel we need to beef up.

“Opportunities arise when someone leaves; it opens the door for someone else to put their hand up and start their own journey. So, we are well aware and we have long prepared for this eventuality, and someone else now has a chance to stake a claim for a place in the team.

“Obviously, much thought went into this and we are feeling very positive about the way forward.” He added.

Blom will be playing under former Kaizer Chiefs and Bafana Bafana left back Bradley Carnell. The St. Louis City coach was instrumental in completing this deal.

“I think there was a bit of a divine touch because we were fortunate to interact with a great Sporting Director on that side, Lutz Pfannenstiel, who was formerly at Hoffenheim. He had the foresight to bring in Bradley Carnell as head coach for his St. Louis team, and having a former Kaizer Chiefs player who is a great coach in his own right after spending time at Leipzig, things fell into place very well and very timeously.

“We are very happy and excited to be part of Blom’s journey. I want to congratulate Blom on his achievement and wish him the best for the future.” Motaung concluded.

The player is currently working on his work permit before arriving in America. This Is How Kaizer Chiefs Plan on Replacing Njabulo Blom!
