Kaizer Chiefs edge closer to sealing loan deal for Stellies starlet

Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly edging closer to completing a loan deal for Stellenbosch FC starlet Fiaz Abrahams.

The 21-year-old attacker can play as both as a winger and a centre-forward, and Stellies have reportedly agreed to let him go at last.

KAIZER CHIEFS SET TO COMPLETE FIAZ ABRAHAMS LOAN DEAL

According to SoccerBeat, Chiefs and Stellies are in talks for Abrahams to move to Naturena on a season-long loan deal with an option to buy.

The arrival of Ashley du Preez from Kaizer Chiefs coupled with the signing of veteran striker Bradley Grobler somehow means Abrahams may be used sparingly by Stellies.

And while Abrahams may also face stiff competition at Chiefs, the club still feels he could add value to their attacking options.

GETTING TO KNOW FIAZ ABRAHAMS…

Abrahams came through the Cape Town Spurs Youth ranks before Stellies signed him for their DStv Diski Challenge (DDC) team in 2024.

He featured six times and scored five goals for the Stellies DDC team before being promoted the senior team.

Stellies then sent Abrahams on loan to Israeli outfit Hapoel Kfar Saba last season but he returned midway through the campaign.

Abrahams would feature just three times for Stellies upon his return from Israel before the end of last season without finding the back of the net.
