Chiefs eye ‘Dax’ of Madagascar

KAIZER Chiefs have shown an interest in Madagascar attacking midfielder Andriamirado Andrianarimanana‚ who was named as Player of the Tournament at the recently completed Cosafa Cup in Polokwane.

Andrianarimanana‚ known simply as ‘Dax’‚ was outstanding for the Malagasy as they finished fourth in the Southern African championship‚ playing six matches in 13 days.

Dax, 27, is a star name at his Malagasy club‚ Fosa Juniors‚ who reached the playoff round of the African Confederation Cup this year before losing to Ghanaian side Aduana Stars.

His signing would be a break in recent tradition for Chiefs‚ who have most recently looked to Zimbabwe and occasionally Zambia for their foreign imports.

But with Pule Eksteen failing to live up to early expectations and Chiefs battling for goals‚ the club has suggested they will be making an overhaul of their squad ahead of the new season.

Dax has been a regular for Madagascar in recent years.
