Kaizer Chiefs FC has finalized the permanent transfer of Khanyisa Mayo from Algerian club CR Belouizdad. The 27-year-old striker spent the past season on loan at Kaizer Chiefs FC, scoring two goals in 15 games.

What happened?

Mayo's sparse contribution at Kaizer Chiefs FC included just eight starts, with his last 90-minute appearance in January.

He missed more matches than he played due to various reasons.

Why it matters for Kaizer Chiefs FC

With Tashreeq Morris headed to Durban City and Ashley Du Preez linked with a Stellenbosch FC return, Kaizer Chiefs FC's options up front will be bolstered by Mayo's experience.

The reported transfer fee ranges from €500 000 to €600 000, a significant investment for the club.

What comes next?

Kaizer Chiefs FC will be playing in the CAF Confederation Cup again in the new season, and Mayo's experience will be valuable.
