Kaizer Chiefs to bolster squad with two more players ahead of new season

South African outfit Kaizer Chiefs are expected to reinforce squad with the acquisition of two additional players before the start of the new campaign.

The Soweto giants are augmenting their squad for the new season in an attempt to compete for laurels. Despite ending their 10-year trophy drought, Kaizer Chiefs finished out of the top eight in the Premier League.

Despite a flurry of signings this summer, Amakhosi boss Nasreddine Nabi believes there’s still room to strengthen the squad.

“There are one or two positions we could reinforce, but we are searching for the best options in terms of quality”

“We don’t want to fill positions just for the sake of it. We are prepared to wait as long as necessary to secure one or two more players for the next season. In addition, we want to give an opportunity this season to the young talents who came up from the DDC, as well as those promoted last season, because we see tremendous potential”

“But we want to proceed step by step, because we learned a lot from a player like [Mduduzi] Shabalala. He was given a lot of responsibility and carried the team on his shoulders last season, especially in the first half of the league”

“After that, towards the end of the season, he didn’t exactly collapse, but his performances didn’t meet our expectations. That’s why we want to entrust responsibilities to the youngsters, but without overwhelming them. It’s a gradual process” he concluded.
