Brian Baloyi backs Khanyisa Mayo to repay Kaizer Chiefs' faith following permanent transfer
Kaizer Chiefs legend Brian Baloyi has publicly thrown his support behind striker Khanyisa Mayo, urging the 27-year-old forward to step up and rediscover his best form after securing a permanent move to Naturena.
Prominent former Kaizer Chiefs player Brian Baloyi has expressed confidence in striker Khanyisa Mayo to repay the trust placed in him by the club management after signing him permanently. The 27-year-old forward struggled in his initial season on loan at CR Belouizdad, netting only two goals in the league. Consequently, Mayo was among several players on Chiefs' transfer list, but he ultimately remained with the team.
Despite the club's strong defensive record, allowing only 19 goals, their league goal tally of 33 was insufficient to match their defensive prowess. Baloyi, speaking as a Hollywoodbets ambassador, believes Mayo will bounce back and rediscover his form, stating his hope that the striker will embrace the pressure of playing for Chiefs after returning from a loan spell.
In the battle for starting positions, Mayo will compete with Flávio Silva, Luke Baartman, Wandile Duba, and Etiosa Ighodaro as the team's main striker. He can also be utilized as a right-winger alongside Langelihle Phili, Mfundo Vilakazi, and Mduduzi Shabalala. Mayo's participation in pre-season training has been hindered by injury.
