Kaizer Chiefs are already set to welcome two former Orlando Pirates players with a third now reportedly targeted!
Chiefs are looking to improve their fortunes ahead of what could be a very busy 2025/26 football season
Chiefs moving quick on the market
If reports are to be believed, Chiefs have already signed at least five players, with increasing links on others. Pirates duo Paseka Mako and Thabiso Monyane are believed to be their earliest signings. The two defenders will join on a free transfer. There are also rumours that Mamelodi Sundowns striker Etiosa Ighodaro and Cape Town Spurs’ Asanele Velebayi are Khosified.
They have also reportedly agreed deals for Ethan Chislett after leaving Port Vale and Nkanyiso Shingaa Portuguese-based left-back. Furthermore they are believed to be advancing in negotiations to sign Indonesia-based Portuguese striker Flavio Silva. Now according to SABC Sport, that is not the only player Chiefs have opened talks with.
In talks with Ndlovu
According to the same publication, Chiefs have began club to club dialogue with SuperSport United. This as they attempt to sign for Pirates midfielder Siphesihle Ndlovu.
“SABC Sport can reveal that Kaizer Chiefs have formally opened talks with SuperSport United to sign midfielder Siphesihle Ndlovu. It’s believed Amakhosi are hoping to wrap up the Ndlovu discussions in time for the player to join the rest of the squad in Europe. Matsatsantsa had earlier triggered the option to extend the player’s contract by a further year after managing to avoid relegation on the final day of last season, so Chiefs will have to negotiate a fee to get him on board. According to information gathered by the public broadcaster, the two parties are now in advanced stages of negotiations, and pending finer details Ndlovu could very well be joining another Soweto giant since leaving Pirates in 2022.” Wrote the publication.
