Kaizer Chiefs sign three experienced players and pursue Thembinkosi Lorch to strengthen their squad for the rest of the season in South Africa

Kaizer Chiefs have made their intentions clear this transfer window—they are hungry for more signings to strengthen their squad.

With a less-than-ideal start to the season, the club was expected to make some serious moves to improve their chances, and they’ve certainly been active in the market.

Focus on Experience and Quality

The Chiefs’ main goal in this window has been to bolster their team with experienced players.

For too long, they have leaned heavily on their young academy graduates like Mduduzi Shabalala, Wandile Duba, Mfundo Vilakazi, and Samkelo Zwane.

While these players bring fresh energy, the team has often lacked the leadership and experience necessary to compete at the highest levels, costing them vital cup progression and crucial points.

Three Signings Already Made

So far, the club has signed three experienced players: Glody Lilepo, Tashreeq Morris, and Thabo Cele.

These new arrivals bring a wealth of top-flight and international experience, which should help strengthen the squad moving forward.

However, the Chiefs aren’t done yet.

They are reportedly still on the hunt for more reinforcements, as they continue to look for players who can make an immediate impact.

Thembinkosi Lorch’s Potential Move to Chiefs

Late last week, it was reported that Chiefs were in talks to make another signing that could be a game-changer: Thembinkosi Lorch.

The former Orlando Pirates star, who now plays for Mamelodi Sundowns, has reportedly fallen out of favor with Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso.

Chiefs have been closely monitoring Lorch’s situation and are looking to bring him to Naturena.

Two Possible Paths to Sign Lorch

According to Soccer-Laduma, there are two main scenarios for Chiefs to secure Lorch’s services.

One option could involve a loan move with an option to buy.

Sundowns, keen to cash in on their high-earning player, might be willing to let him go on loan, allowing Chiefs to get him for the rest of the season before potentially making the deal permanent.

The other scenario would be for Chiefs to wait until the end of the season when Lorch’s contract could be terminated, allowing them to sign him on a free transfer.

Will Chiefs Move Now or Wait for Lorch?

If the move doesn’t happen before the transfer window closes, it’s expected that Lorch will exit Sundowns at the end of the season.

With Sundowns likely to make more signings in preparation for the FIFA Club World Cup, they could make the decision to part ways with Lorch.

Chiefs fans now have a big question to answer: Do they want the Bafana Bafana playmaker immediately, or is it worth waiting until the end of the season to secure him for free? It’s a dilemma, but one that could significantly impact their future plans.

Fans are encouraged to share their thoughts and opinions on whether they think the Chiefs should move now or bide their time.
