HOW THE TRIO HAVE FARED AT NATURENA

-

LEONARDO CASTRO

Since arriving at Chiefs in January 2018 from Mamelodi Sundowns, where he won four trophies in two-and-ahalf years, Castro is yet to win any silverware. His goals return stands at 29 in four years which is not convincing for a centre forward who has totalled 113 appearance­s through that time. The call to make for Chiefs will be either to continue investing in an injury prone forward in his 30s or consider a younger option.

LAZAROUS KAMBOLE

Besides improved earnings that have bettered his life, Kambole

has disappoint­ed. Two goals spread over 42 appearance­s as he heads towards the end of his third season is a poor return that looks to have the exit door widening.

SAMIR NURKOVIC

This is the first club where he has last this long as he approaches three years with Chiefs.

He has been a nomadic forward all along in Europe.

His first season was impressive with 14 goals, before he scored another six in the next campaign for a total of 20 goals in 68 appearance­s.

A goal every three games is not disastrous for a player who arrived on a free transfer.
