Kaizer Chiefs make U-turn on Keagan Dolly’s future?

Kaizer Chiefs have reportedly made a decision on Keagan Dolly’s future as his current contract with the club expires in June.

Previous reports in the media had suggested that Dolly may have played his last game for Chiefs as he was set to leave.

And that’s because of his long-term injuries coupled with below-par performances since joining Chiefs in a sensational move.

Dolly is in his third season with Amakhosi having arrived as a free agent following his departure from French

However, according to Soccer Laduma, Chiefs have made a U-turn on Dolly, and the midfielder looks set to stay at Naturena beyond June.

Sources known to the publication claim that the Chiefs hierarchy assessed Dolly based on his previous two seasons and didn’t focus on the current campaign.

Dolly ha featured just seven times in the league for Chiefs this season due to a long-term knee injury he suffered at the start of the campaign.

KAIZER CHIEFS TO KEEP KEAGAN DOLLY?

“His chances of staying at the club and extending his contract are almost 90% as things stand,” claimed one source.

“What the club has said is that they have looked at his past two seasons and how he performed, compared to the seven games he has played this season due to injury.

“That’s what they are basing their decision on.”

The source further claimed that Chiefs are looking to keep at least three senior players ahead of what is expected to be a squad overhaul.

“The club wants to have at least two or three senior players but those talks are ongoing,” concluded the source.

HOW ARE DOLLY’S STATS AT AMAKHOSI?

The 31-year-old attacker has featured in eight competitive matches for Chiefs this season, and has yet to score while he’s grabbed a single assist.

But since his arrival at Chiefs, Dolly has netted 14 times and provided 11 assists in 64 competitive matches, according to Transfermarkt.
