Kaizer Chiefs are already planning for next season, with reports suggesting that they are closing in on one of their key targets.
The team has been inconsistent this season, and it seems they’re eager to make improvements for the future.
A Busy Transfer Window for Chiefs
Amakhosi have been active in the transfer market recently, signing a total of 10 players across two windows.
However, coach Nasreddine Nabi has expressed that he’s not entirely satisfied with the current squad, mentioning that only a few of the new signings fit the profile he’s looking for.
He recently pointed out that the likes of Tashreeq Morris, Thabo Cele, and Glody Lilepo align more closely with his game model, indicating that he’s still looking to strengthen certain areas of the squad.
Focus on Right-Back Position
As part of his ongoing mission to improve the team, Nabi seems keen to bolster the right-back position.
According to reports, Chiefs are reportedly preparing an offer to Richards Bay for their right-back, Lwandile Mabuya.
The two clubs have been in talks, and it’s believed that an official bid from Chiefs is imminent.
Sources close to the club have confirmed that Chiefs have had an interest in Mabuya since the start of the season, and negotiations are now at a point where an offer could be made soon.
Current Right-Back Options and Uncertainty
At present, Chiefs have several options for the right-back role, including Reeve Frosler, Dillan Solomons, and Njabulo Blom.
However, Frosler’s contract is set to expire at the end of the season, leaving his future at the club uncertain.
Meanwhile, Blom is currently on loan and ideally plays in midfield.
Solomons has seen more action recently, but there are still questions about whether he fits Nabi’s vision for the team, which could explain the increased interest in Mabuya.
What Could Mabuya Bring to the Team?
For Chiefs fans, the question is whether Mabuya would be a good fit for the team next season.
Would he be the right addition to strengthen the squad? Fans are encouraged to share their thoughts and opinions on this potential signing.
