Kaizer Chiefs will be looking to reshuffle their squad ahead of the 2025/26 season with a crucial window approaching.
Despite winning the Nedbank Cup, Chiefs finished outside the top eight for a second consecutive campaign.
Chiefs looking to revamp their squad
Chiefs have been linked to a whole multitude of players who could help the club rediscover their glory days. the likes of Fiston Mayele, Etiosa Ighodaro, Robert Polievka mentioned as strikers. In the wingers department Oswin Appollis, Elias Mokwana, Mihlali Mayambela and Keletso Makgalwa have been touted. There have been talks of Amakhosi adding playmakers to their squad such as Feisal Salum, Rowan Human and Sipho Mbule.
So far, it is the defensive players that Chiefs are heavily linked with and thought to have signed. The likes of Thabiso Monyane, Paseka Mako, Aphiwe Baliti and Ime Okon. Some of those defensive signings are expected to influence some of the projected outgoings set to be announced. The arrival of the three full backs in Monyane, Mako and Baliti will come as a welcome boost.
Two full backs already signed, more linked
Chiefs struggled both on the right and left side of their defence especially after Reeve Frosler’s injury. In January they were rumoured to have registered interest in Lwandile Mabuya of Richards Bay FC. But now according to FARPost they have cooled their interest after signing Monyane!
Amakhosi walk away from Mabuya deal
“Kaizer Chiefs have ended their pursuit of Richards Bay FC defender Lwandile Mabuya after securing the services of former Orlando Pirates star Thabiso Monyane. Chiefs have now diverted their attention away from Richards Bay defender Mabuya as they seem covered for the right-back position. Mabuya has been on Amakhosi’s radar for quite some time, having impressed with his solid displays for the Natal Rich Boyz over the last two campaigns.” Wrote the publication.
