Ugandan agent Paul Mujuni says even though Congolese striker Fiston Mayele might do well at Kaizer Chiefs, that would not be the case with Burkina Faso's Stephane Aziz Ki.
Both stars continue to be linked with Amakhosi, who are expected to make big signings during the current transfer window following their poor 2023/24 season.
Mayele a centre-forward, is currently with Egyptian outfit Pyramids FC, while Aziz Ki is with Tanzanian club Young Africans SC.

Mujuni who in the past recommended a few African players to South African clubs, feels Aziz Ki's style of play is more suited for Pirates.
"Fiston Mayele can fit in at Kaizer Chiefs, he is a great finisher, but Aziz can fit in at Orlando Pirates because he is more of a ball player, which suites his style of play. I'm sure Kaizer Chiefs need more of a finisher than a ball player. Both can work, but the question is, can they all play at the same time?" Mujuni asks, speaking to KickOff.
Mujuni also touched on why he thinks foreign strikers like Souaibou Marou, Lazarous Kambole, Augustine Mulenga and, most recently, Christian Saile, have struggled to score goals at both Soweto giants.
"I don't know Sarou, but I know Kambole very well from ZESCO [United] of Zambia, the club I have a very good relationship with.
"I sold two players there. Even now, I'm negotiating for another striker, whose name I won't mention until the deal is done.
"It's a lot of factors. I will start with PSL teams' scouting structure. Do they get strikers that fit in their style of play? It's only Mamelodi Sundowns [who do that].
"Secondly, do they give them time to adjust? The answer is no. In two or three games without a goal, he becomes a bad player. foreigners need to adjust to a new environment, same as South African players in a foreign land.
"Those two factors are key. Then there is the issue of foreigners coming in when the coach is under pressure for his job. He won't have patience, he wants a player who would come in and save him.
"Then there is an issue of management signing players who are not in the coach's plans because they hear rival teams want him.
"A lot of factors, my brother. We have been in this industry for a long time.
"Aziz, I think he is a striker in the form of a ball player, same as Saile. I think Chiefs need a great finisher, a target man, a pure number nine. I believe Mayele can do the job for them. They don't need a striker who is in the form of a ball player, their style of the game is direct, while for Pirates, Aziz can fit in there properly."
