Kaizer Chiefs have been linked with several local and international players in the past 12 months.

Although the club signed players like Thabo Cele and Gaston Sirino last season, it still finished ninth in the 2024/25 season.

With the new season just over six weeks away, Nasreddine Nabi will need a good budget to bring quality players to Naturena. The team jets off to the Netherlands for their pre-season training before returning home end of July, where they will play several friendly matches.

Who are some players linked to Kaizer Chiefs?

Recently, it was reported that Amakhosi were close to signing Paseka Mako and Thabiso Monyane. The two players were recently released by Orlando Pirates earlier this month.

Chiefs on the otherhand, parted ways with Sabelo Radebe, Njabulo Blom, Ranga Chivaviro, Edmilson Dove and Mduduzi Mdantsane.

Which players are likely to sign for Amakhosi?

One player who is set to join the Soweto giants is Asanele Velebayi. The Cape Town Spurs winger has been under Chiefs’ radar for two years. Last season, Amakhosi tried to sign the player; however, the Urban Warriors refused despite the player reportedly expressing his desire to leave the Cape Town-based club.

Another top player linked to Kaizer Chiefs is Ime Okon. The former SuperSport United defender is a free agent; however, his desire is to move abroad.
