Kaizer Chiefs is gearing up for the next transfer window with a clear plan to address its weaknesses and solidify its position as a dominant force in South African football. The club will be actively pursuing new signings in key areas, particularly defense and attack.
Kaizer Chiefs' transfer plans are in full swing as the club looks to strengthen its squad ahead of the next season. After making three key signings in January - Tashreeq Morris, Thabo Cele, and Makabi Lilepo - Chiefs are strategically positioning themselves for success. These additions, particularly the depth provided by Cele in midfield, address some immediate needs.
However, the club recognizes areas that require further attention, and the upcoming transfer window will be crucial in shaping their future.One of the most pressing concerns for Chiefs is their defensive vulnerabilities. Despite the January signings, the club opted not to invest in defensive reinforcements during that period. This decision is likely to change in the off-season, with a particular focus on the left-back position. Chiefs had their sights set on Simba SC's Mohammed Husseini in January but were unsuccessful in securing his services. However, they are expected to revisit their interest in Fawaaz Basadien from Stellenbosch FC, who will have time to find a suitable replacement. The central defense also needs bolstering, as Zitha Kwinika's contract is set to expire, making a defensive signing a necessity.The arrival of Makabi Lilepo signals head coach Nasreddine Nabi's preference for traditional wingers who can stretch the pitch. While Nabi previously relied on Wandile Duba in a wide role, Lilepo's versatility, being able to play both as a winger and a center forward, opens up tactical options. Chiefs may still explore further reinforcements on the flanks. Striker recruitment remains a priority, even after securing Morris. Nabi favors imposing center forwards who can act as target men, and with Ranga Chivaviro struggling and his contract expiring on June 30th, Chiefs are likely to target new firepower. Clement Mzize, a striker from Young Africans, is among their top targets, having a history with Nabi and Cedric Kaze at Yanga.
