Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly finalising a deal with Flavio Silva, a talented striker born in Guinea-Bissau. Silva, who also holds Portuguese nationality, is expected to join the Soweto giants from Indonesia’s Liga 1, where he has made a name for himself by scoring an impressive 39 goals over the past three seasons.
A source close to the negotiations confirmed, “Kaizer Chiefs look poised to secure the signature of Flavio Silva, a Portuguese striker with roots in Guinea-Bissau.” Silva began his footballing development at the famed Sporting CP youth academy and is currently playing for Persebaya Surabaya. The 1.85m striker made headlines in Southeast Asia in January 2023 when he scored five goals in a single match, leading Persik Kediri to a 5–2 win over Persikabo 1973.
