Kaizer Chiefs are actively pursuing new talent as the January transfer window approaches. The club has already made seven signings in the off-season, but head coach Nasreddine Nabi is keen to add more players to his squad. After a disappointing tenth-place finish last season, Nabi is working to transform the team and elevate them to compete with top sides like Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates. However, building a cohesive team takes time, and Nabi believes that fostering better understanding and chemistry on the pitch is key to achieving better results.
Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly targeting several players, both local and international, to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season. Among the names being linked with the club are Fiston Mayele, Asanele Velebayi, Percy Tau, Puso Dithejane, Oswin Appollis, Sihle Nduli, Bongani Zungu, Sphelele Mkhulise, and Zakhele Lepasa.
Regarding Velebayi, Chiefs made an attempt to sign the Cape Town Spurs player during the winter transfer window. However, their offers were rejected by the club, who deemed the bids too low. Sports agent Lance Davids explained that Chiefs made a second, more reasonable offer with add-ons, but Cape Town Spurs still found it insufficient. While Chiefs valued the player at a much lower price compared to Oswin Appollis, the deal ultimately fell through. Initially, Cape Town Spurs wanted R12 million for Velebayi, which was later reduced to R10 million, while Chiefs offered R5 million plus players in exchange. Despite the unsuccessful deal, Chiefs remain keen on bolstering their squad.
