Kaizer Chiefs Aim to Strengthen Squad After Seven Offseason Signings and Struggling Start to PSL Season in South Africa

Kaizer Chiefs are determined to strengthen their squad further, following a busy offseason where they brought in seven new players.

Despite these efforts, the club has faced setbacks, including a disappointing 1-0 loss to Cape Town City, leaving them in seventh place on the PSL table—15 points behind league leaders Mamelodi Sundowns.

A Fresh Chance for Redemption Against Stellenbosch

Tonight, Chiefs will be looking to bounce back as they face Stellenbosch at home.

The match will kick off at 19:30, and AmaKhosi are hoping to turn their fortunes around and move up the standings.

Player Rumours and Transfer Plans

While Kaizer Chiefs are still reeling from their recent struggles, the club is already looking ahead, eyeing more talent to reinforce their squad.

One of the key players on their radar is Bafana Bafana midfielder Luke Le Roux, who has had a challenging season with Swedish side IFK Varnamo but managed to avoid relegation through the play-offs.

Reports suggest that Chiefs are growing frustrated with Christian Saile’s lack of form and are considering parting ways with the forward.

However, the club may struggle to afford the transfer fees for high-profile strikers like Fiston Mayele and Michael Olunga, given their hefty spending before the start of the 2024/25 season.

Mdu Shabalala Set for Contract Extension

In more positive news, Chiefs are keen to keep their talented youth players, including Mdu Shabalala, who is reportedly set for a contract extension.

Although Shabalala signed a three-year deal in June 2022, Chiefs are offering him another three-year extension, potentially keeping him at the club until at least June 2028.

Sources indicate that Shabalala, a homegrown talent, is happy at the club, which makes negotiations promising.

What’s Next for Kaizer Chiefs?

With the transfer window open and fresh opportunities ahead, Kaizer Chiefs will be working hard to strengthen their squad and improve their performances on the field.

Fans are eager to see which players will join the team next.
