Kaizer Chiefs’ foreign spots are occupied by Fiacre Ntwari, Edson Castillo, Edmilson Dove, Glody Lilepo and Inacio Miguel. One must leave.
Kaizer Chiefs plan swoop for foreign stars
Uruguayan midfielder Gaston Sirino is registered as a local player after obtaining South African citizenship. However, if Chiefs want to sign foreign players like Fiston Mayele, they’ll need to de-register one of their existing foreign players. Venezuelan midfielder Edson Castillo is reportedly a player Chiefs are willing to cut in order to accommodate new arrivals. This is according to the Citizen.
Could Zajmovic fill Castillo’s spot at Kaizer Chiefs?
30-year-old Bosnian star Dzenan Zajmovic has been a late bloomer in his career. However, his 2024-2025 season numbers of eight goals and three assists in 22 Betway Premiership appearances are indicative of a guy who can do a job in South Africa’s PSL. Only Sundowns pair Iqraam Rayners and Lucas Ribeiro Costa have scored more than the 1.90m tall marksman this term. His record of a direct goal contribution every other game has raised a few eyebrows.
