Kaizer Chiefs are keen to strengthen all areas of their squad. Here are five names from the African content that they’re chasing.
Nigerian midfielder with vast European experience
Kingsley Michael is still only 25, but the Nigerian midfield orchestrator has already been around the block. His club career has seen him enjoy stints across Europe. First in Italy with Bologna, Perugia, Cremonese and Reggina. Then, spells with SV Ried and DSV Leoben in Austria. Now he’s on the books of Monastir in Tunisia. Surprisingly, he’s only earned one cap for Nigeria’s Super Eagles.

Djibril Ouattara
According to Soccer Laduma, Burkinabe striker Djibril Ouattara could make a move to Kaizer Chiefs or Orlando Pirates in the winter window. The 25-year-old has 12 goals in 10 matches for APR FC in Rwanda this season. He’s also got experience with the Dutch side Vitesse Arnhem. He’s also scored twice in 14 caps for Burkina Faso.
Jonathan Sowah
26-year-old Ghanaian forward Jonathan Sowah plies his trade for Libyan side Al Nasr Benghazi. He’s also got three caps for the Black Stars.
Fiston Mayele is a long-standing Kaizer Chiefs target
Congolese marksman Fiston Mayele broke Orlando Pirates hearts in the Champions League semi-final second leg with a decisive brace; he’s got eight goals in 11 appearances in that competition this season. Throughout his career, he has scored 21 goals and supplied four assists from 35 in Africa’s premier club competition. Fans would love this rumour to come to fruition.
Kibu Denis
Meanwhile, 26-year-old Simba SC attacker Kibu Denis has scored four goals in 12 games in the 2024/2025 CAF Confederations Cup. They face the Moroccan side, RS Berkane, in the final. Perhaps Kibu will put himself in the shop window? He’s primarily a left-winger.
