Kaizer Chiefs Sign Three New Players in the January Transfer Window to Strengthen Their Squad for 2025 and Beyond

As 2025 kicks off, Kaizer Chiefs have made moves in the January transfer window, bringing in three new signings to help boost their squad.

The club had been looking to add some experience and quality to their team, and these fresh faces are expected to bring just that as they aim to improve their current campaign.

Chiefs Add Experience with Glody Lilepo, Tashreeq Morris, and Thabo Cele

The Amakhosi have secured the signings of three seasoned players: Congolese winger Glody Lilepo, striker Tashreeq Morris, and midfielder Thabo Cele.

Lilepo and Morris, both attacking players, have committed to two-and-a-half-year deals, while Cele has signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with the club.

These signings are expected to bring the necessary depth and experience to the squad for the challenges ahead.

Thembinkosi Lorch Deal Falls Through but Chiefs Keep an Eye on Free Agents

While Kaizer Chiefs were also in talks to bring in Thembinkosi Lorch from Mamelodi Sundowns, the deal did not materialize, leaving the club with just three signings for the January window.

However, there may still be an opportunity to add more experience to the squad, as the club is reportedly keeping tabs on free agents.

One name that has come up is veteran defender Ali Maaloul, who recently left Al Ahly.

Ali Maaloul Could Join Kaizer Chiefs on a Free Transfer

Maaloul, a 35-year-old Tunisian international, is now a free agent after departing Al Ahly.

With 93 caps for Tunisia, he brings a wealth of experience that could prove valuable to Kaizer Chiefs.

Reports from North Africa suggest that Chiefs are one of several clubs expressing interest in the defender.

While Qatari club Al-Gharafa is also reportedly keen on signing him, Chiefs could offer Maaloul a chance to continue his career in South Africa.

Chiefs Fans Weigh in on Potential Signing of Ali Maaloul

As the news of Maaloul’s potential move to Kaizer Chiefs circulates, fans are being asked to share their thoughts.

At 35 years old, some may wonder if Maaloul is the right fit for the team, considering his age and the club’s long-term goals.

The veteran defender’s experience could be an asset, but it remains to be seen if he will make the move to Chiefs or another club in the coming months.

What are your thoughts on the potential signing of Maaloul? Would he be a valuable addition to the team, or should Chiefs look elsewhere for defensive reinforcements?
