Hunt on the Hunt: Why SuperSport Needs a New Striker
Take a moment to hear what Coach Gavin Hunt has to say about possibly bringing Nurkovic aboard in the video below:
According to reports from FARPost, Hunt emphasized the urgency of finding a new striker, making Nurkovic a top priority. The coach explained that the current situation up front is less than ideal, with midfielders being pushed into unfamiliar roles. This tactical adjustment has not only strained the team but also highlighted the need for a dedicated forward.
In his own words, Hunt shared his thoughts:
“Nurkovic is a significant option for us if he becomes available. Right now, we're struggling upfront, and relying on midfield players to fill that role is becoming a real challenge. This is a problem we need to address quickly.”
Fans Weigh In: Why Nurkovic Could Be a Perfect Fit
The prospect of Nurkovic joining SuperSport has sparked a lively debate on social media. Many supporters are optimistic about the move, pointing out the successful partnership Nurkovic and Hunt shared during their time at Kaizer Chiefs back in 2020.
Cordial King chimed in with enthusiastic support:
“He’s a brilliant striker; I don’t see why not. This could be exactly what SuperSport needs to turn things around.”
Phimi MrWyzfella echoed the sentiment, emphasizing Hunt's ability to utilize Nurkovic effectively:

“Hunt will use him well. The guy knows how to get the best out of his players, and Nurkovic could thrive under his guidance.”
Lawrence Kby added another layer of excitement:
“This is a perfect match. Nurkovic’s style of play aligns perfectly with Gavin Hunt’s tactical approach. It’s a no-brainer!”
Not everyone is convinced, though. Meliwethu Moyo Siphiwokuhle Moyo suggested an alternative:
“While Nurkovic could be a great fit for SuperSport, he might also do wonders for Pirates, especially in Caf competitions.”
Meanwhile, Zakes Mapoyi believes Kaizer Chiefs should be the ones making the move:
“Kaizer Chiefs needs a quality striker, and Nurkovic fits the bill. This could be the missing piece of the puzzle for them.”
SuperSport United’s Reinforcement Push
As Briefly News has previously reported, SuperSport United’s assistant coach, Andre Arendse, confirmed that the club is actively searching for reinforcements. The injury to top scorer Bradley Grobler and midfielder Grant Margeman has left a gaping hole in the team’s lineup, necessitating swift action in the transfer market.
With the transfer window rapidly approaching its close, the pressure is mounting for SuperSport to secure the right players. Fans are hopeful that the club’s management will rise to the occasion, ensuring that the team is well-equipped to compete at the highest level both domestically and internationally.
