Ashley Du Preez: Kaizer Chiefs Forward Attracting Interest in Europe

• Ashley Du Preez is reportedly attracting plenty of interest in Europe despite producing uninspiring performances on the 2023/24 season
• The 26-year-old managed six goals in 27 matches last season, which his team, PSL giants Kaizer Chiefs, finished a dismal 10th
• Amakhosi are looking for a new coach who will reportedly be hired in the coming weeks to replace caretaker boss, Cavin Johnson

Despite a poor 2023/24 campaign, Kaizer Chiefs players are reportedly attracting interest from overseas.

After years of mediocrity, the Soweto giants are set to appoint a new coach to revive their fortunes.

A European club reportedly wants Amakhosi attacker, Ashley Du Preez, despite an underwhelming individual campaign.

Du Preez joined Amakhosi in 2022 but has struggled to live up to the performances he showed at Stellenbosch. In the last two seasons, the 26-year-old has scored 15 goals in 59 matches. He has 22 goals in 113 DStv Premiership matches.

According to The South African, clubs in Portugal have shown interest and are ready to pay top price to sign him.

Du Preez is part of a Chiefs team trying to rediscover their former glory, and at 26, a move to Europe might be perfect for the forward.

In June last year, Soccer Laduma reported that Romanian side, FCSB were keen on signing Du Preez after securing the services of another Chiefs player, Siyabonga Ngezana. However, a transfer never materialized.

Kannemeyer named scouting, culture, philosophy, and overall planning the main issues preventing the club from competing consistently.

The PSL giants' last silverware was the 2015 DStv Premiership title, which they won under former Bafana Bafana coach, Stuart Baxter. Since then, they've struggled to keep pace with Mamelodi Sundowns, who just secured their seventh straight title.
