Afolabi invited to Kaizer Chiefs trial

By Daily Sports on August 12, 2017

Kaizer Chiefs have reportedly invited Nigerian-born striker Okiki Afolabi as their latest trialist in an attempt to shore up their attack.

The club has recently and during the course of last season invited several players on trial, with many being turned away.

The only one who managed to turn their head was Venezuelan-born striker Gustavo Paez, who joined the club in January and has since formed a good pairing with Bernard Parker upfront.

Chiefs recently invited three players in Arnaldo Gomes, Darren Lurie and Argentinean Jonathan Phillipe on trials. The first two have since been turned away while Phillipe stays on. Komphela is yet to be convinced on his fitness levels.

They have now brought on Afolabi, who has played for clubs in Nigeria, Argentina and Malaysia. At 22, he has represented his country at youth level.

"Afolabi, last season was one of the most highly rated strikers in the Nigeria Professional Football League," wrote Shina Oludare."

In fact, many had tipped him for a Super Eagles call-up before he joined Argentina second division club [then], Talleres de Córdoba.

"He featured in just one game before he was declared surplus to requirement. And not too long ago, reports had it that he teamed up with Malaysia's Kelantan FA. His strongest asset is his aerial prowess," concluded Oludare.
