Siya sources have revealed that Amakhosi are understood to have joined the race for red-hot Mamelodi Sundowns striker Etiosa Godspower Ighodaro, who has been enjoying good form while on loan at Chippa United.
As previously reported by the Soccer Laduma, the 21-year-old has attracted interest from Europe as well as North Africa.
News reaching the Siya crew is that the Nigerian is believed to be on the list of Chiefs' wanted players.
"Both the technical team and management have agreed that if they can't get Khanyisa Mayo they should go for Ighodaro. But everyone knows that the problem with that is, the striker belongs to Sundowns. No-one really knows what will happen with him because he still has a contract with Sundowns. But Chiefs really want him now, as it seems they won't get Mayo. All is in the hands of Sundowns and not the player," the source said.
The Premiership champions are yet to make a decision on the future of Ighodaro.
Efforts to get a comment from Chiefs' communications department proved futile at the time of publishing.
