With only two days left in the January transfer window, Kaizer Chiefs are making a strong push to strengthen their squad and boost their performance.
The club recognizes the need to act swiftly to improve their position in the league and are looking to add quality players who can make an immediate impact.
Coach Nabi’s Call for Experience
Coach Nasreddine Nabi has been vocal about his desire to bring in more experienced players.
While the team’s younger players have been stepping up this season, it’s clear that Chiefs need more seasoned professionals to help guide the squad through the pressures of the league.
Young stars like Mduduzi Shabalala, Wandile Duba, and Mfundo Vilakazi have shown promise, contributing significantly to the team’s goals.
However, the midfield, led by Samkelo Zwane, has lacked consistency, and the squad has felt the absence of experienced leadership.
Chiefs Close to Signing Tashreeq Morris and Glody Lilepo
In response to these challenges, Chiefs are reportedly finalizing two forward signings, aiming to boost their attacking options.
Tashreeq Morris, a 27-year-old striker with extensive experience in the Betway Premiership, is set to join the squad.
His presence is expected to add a much-needed goal-scoring threat.
Alongside him, Glody Lilepo, who has international experience and has recently played in France, will also be joining the team.
Both players bring valuable experience and are expected to provide immediate support to the team’s offensive lineup.
Thabo Cele and a Left-Back Search
In addition to Morris and Lilepo, Chiefs are believed to be on the verge of signing Thabo Cele, another experienced player, showing that the club is taking Nabi’s call seriously.
Despite these additions, Chiefs are still searching for a reliable left-back to strengthen their defense.
Currently, Bradley Cross is their primary option, with Happy Mashiane occasionally filling in, but the club is still looking for a more stable solution.
Setback in Pursuit of Terrence Mashego
One deal that fell through was the pursuit of Mamelodi Sundowns’ Terrence Mashego.
According to reports, Chiefs had shown interest in the Bafana Bafana international, but negotiations broke down over the selling price.
This marks a setback for Chiefs in their efforts to reinforce their squad, leaving fans to wonder what might have been.
Chiefs Fans React to Transfer News
As the transfer window comes to a close, Chiefs fans are left reflecting on missed opportunities like the Mashego deal.
