SuperSport United boss Gavin Hunt is keen to reunite with former Kaizer Chiefs striker Samir Nurkovic, who is now a free agent.
Nurkovic parted ways with TS Galaxy on the eve of the Betway Premiership season, despite a successful campaign where he netted 10 goals in 29 matches.
Hunt, who previously coached Nurkovic at Chiefs, has expressed interest in bringing him to SuperSport.
“He’s a big option for us, obviously, if we can [afford him]. He’s become available, but I’m not the bean counter, so it works differently,” said Hunt.
“There is a hurry because we’ve got a game on Saturday, and we’re struggling up front. We’re playing midfield players there, so it is a problem for us.
“Hopefully we can do something between now and me getting on the phone again [to enquire about new players].”
With SuperSport’s top scorer from last season, Bradley Grobler, sidelined due to injury, and their attack struggling in a recent 2-0 loss to Mamelodi Sundowns, Hunt stressed the urgency of bolstering his forward line.
“Boss, you’re looking at anything at the moment. The window closes tomorrow, so we obviously need to get one or two in, but there’s one or two pending, which hopefully can be done between now and tomorrow,” he added.
“You’ve got to play with what you’ve got available, so you must never go away from that. If you haven’t got – we’ve got three big players out, then you have to play a bit differently.
“I thought we did extremely well [against Sundowns], barring one slip here and there, but I mean, I don’t think – our goalkeeper made one save, but it was sort of routine stuff.”
