Kaizer Chiefs don’t have to look far for Blom replacement

“If you look at Samkelo Zwane, that boy is specific and strong. So this is the person you can expect investment in.” Linda Buthelezi told KickOff.

“Why need Blom when you have Samkelo Zwane? So Blom he must be allowed to leave. He is not a central midfielder that will give you something. He doesn’t have that.

“That’s why Kaizer Chiefs can’t commit themselves in paying him a lot of money. In the games I’ve watched him play he is not a specific player Blom. He is not a WOW player.”
