With the future of striker Jasond Gonzalez, who is yet to score, looking uncertain at Kaizer Chiefs, Soccer Laduma looks at striker signings at Amakhosi that did not live up to expectations in the last decade.
Gonzalez arrived at the Glamour Boys from Bolivian Primera Division club Real Santa Cruz this season, having netted eight goals in 14 appearances.
However, according to Siya sources, Chiefs don't look like they will be keeping the Colombian beyond his loan deal, as he is yet to impress.
Should Gonzalez leave Amakhosi without making an impact, he will join a long list of striker signings that failed to deliver at the club in the last 10 years.
