Kaizer Chiefs have wrapped up a batch of new players to help them climb up the table next season. When will he club make announcements?
Thabiso Monyane is an intriguing arrival from Orlando Pirates.
Meanwhile, there are several new faces in the attack.
‘Chiefs will still finish ninth with their new signings’
Kaizer Chiefs to add a host of new faces
Former Orlando Pirates full-back duo Paseka Mako and Thabiso Monyane would add experience in defence. 25-year-old Nkanyiso Shinga is another new option at left-back, after spending seven years in Portugal. 31-year-old Thibang ‘Cafu’ Phete is a versatile operator who can play as the hard man in midfield or in defence. 22-year-old winger Asanele Velebayi has been a long-standing target, while 26-year-old playmaker Ethan Chislett returns to South Africa after Port Vale got relegated to the fourth tier of English football. Etiosa Ighodaro and the relatively unknown Flavio Silva could bolster the attack. Chiefs leave for the Netherlands on Thursday, 03 July, and the club is expected to announce the new signings by that date.

Chiefs target Serbian-based flop striker
Chiefs pre-season tour schedule
- 08 July, 19:00 vs. Vitesse Arnhem
- 11 July, 16:00 vs. FC Utrecht (behind closed doors)
- 12 July, 14:00 vs. NEC Nijmegen
- 15 July, 19:00 vs. PEC Zwolle
- 16 July, 19:00 vs. FC Twente
None of Holland’s Big Three are taking part
The behind-closed-doors (no fans in the stadium) clash with Utrecht was initially going to be the first match of the tour. However, Chiefs face Vitesse first on 08 July. What’s also slightly underwhelming is that none of the traditional three giants, Ajax, Feyenoord or PSV Eindhoven, are on the itinerary. The last time that none of those sides won the Dutch Eredivisie was when Twente became champions in 2009-2010.
Have Kaizer Chiefs made good strides in the transfer market with these signings?
