Kaizer Chiefs head coach Arthur Zwane has suggested there will be no further signings before the Premier Soccer League (PSL) transfer window closes this month.
Chiefs have brought in nine new signings for the 2022/23 season while the likes of Mduduzi Shabalala and Aden McCarthy’s first-team promotions takes his squad options beyond 30 players.
Ashley du Preez, Zitha Kwinika joined from Stellenbosch, George Matlou, Dillan Solomons, Kamohelo Mahlatsi from Swallows, Yusuf Maart from Sekhukhune United, while Siyathemba Sithebe, Bonfils-Caleb Bimenyimana and Edmilson Dove was signed as free agents.
But the signings of the Mozambique international defender and the Burundi national team striker looks set to be the end of their busines as Zwane now looks to make work with what he’s got despite the stutering start to the DStv Premiership campaign.
“The window period, when you’re looking for combinations you don’t want to… you avoid panic because the more you bring in players while looking for combinations you might not even get it right,” Zwane said in the post-match press conference,
“So we need to get it right with the players we have right now and see what we have. We only have three months, it’s just around the corner in terms of the next window in January.
“I think that will give us the opportunity again, to say, where we need to beef up but for now I think we have enough cover in all positions – I think we have two or three in one position, so I think that will help us going forward until we see where the season progresses before we beef up [the squad again.]”
Amakhosi find themselves in 12th place in the league with two wins, one draw and three defeats after six games played.
