Nasreddine Nabi's admiration for Fiston Mayele knows no bounds and is the reason why the Congolese has become a subject of a move to Kaizer Chiefs.
Mayele was offered to Chiefs last year with the dreadlocked keen on joining, but it is said the club hesitated citing finances and his age.

The Congolese ultimately settled on a move to Egyptian club Pyramids where he has scored 16 goals.
However, Nabi's presence as head coach at Chiefs now means Mayele's name is on the lips again between player and coach, who enjoyed success at Young Africans and both of whom speak French.
Mayele hammered 31 goals in his last season playing under Nabi in Tanzania and this is why a way so much talk is ongoing in seeking to make the switch to Naturena happen though it will mean a sizeable transfer fee.
"Kalala (Mayele) will be a good signing for Chiefs without any doubt because it is the coach (Nabi) who wants him," Kabamba Musasa tells KickOff.com.
Musasa is also Congolese and played for AmaKhosi 20 years ago and knows both the player (Mayele) and the club (Chiefs) well.
"It will be an upgrade for him to move from Pyramids considering the size of these two clubs.
"I played for Chiefs, so I understand what it means to play for a club like that.
"I'm not surprised the Chiefs coach (Nabi) wants him because Mayele is a good striker who scored a lot of goals for him in Tanzania.
"Based on what I have seen and heard about what is happening at my beloved Chiefs, I believe Chiefs desperately need Mayele and Nabi has told them so.
"They need to win matches and to win matches they need to score goals and with Kalala they have a solid source of goals.
"Kalala can give Chiefs 20 goals next season with good players around him because he is a number nine.
"He knows what Nabi needs and how he sets up his teams and so will just fit in with ease.
"I have watched him playing several times and I know what he can do a job for Chiefs.

"The plus is that Chiefs is a professional club that will give you what you get in Europe.
"Chiefs was even better than the team that I played for in Turkey (Istanbulspor) after I left Chiefs so I believe he must come to Chiefs," says Musasa.
