January 2025 might very well be Kaizer Chiefs’ most pivotal transfer window in the club’s history. Why? Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates are stronger than ever, while Amakhosi have a top-class technical team but not the players.
NASREDDINE NABI SCOUTING WORLD MARKET FOR PLAYERS
The club’s new coach, Nasreddine Nabi, confirmed to the media that his squad needs continued improvement.
“I think we haven’t finished changing the squad,” Nabi said after Kaizer Chiefs signed Bongani Sam, Fiacre Ntwari, Rushwin Dortely, Inacio Miguel, Gaston Sirino and Njabulo Blom before the season started in September.
“For all decisions, the direction of my eyes is for the best for Chiefs. It is not to be friendly, not to be emotional. For that reason, moving the squad won’t stop window after window.
“Maybe for a player not at our level there will be another opportunity, they will be out.
“People were pushing to see a striker before the last window (closed), but the opportunities were very bad.
“In October, we don’t play many games, and then there is November and December, and after that (in January), a new window will open, and we will have the opportunity to scout the world for the best players,” the Tunisian added.
MIDFIELDERS LINKED WITH KAIZER CHIEFS IN THE JANUARY TRANSFER WINDOW
With Sibongiseni Mthethwa linked with an exit and Yusuf Maart blowing hot and cold, Amakhosi are linked with three midfield players.
- Feisal Salum, 26, Midfielder at Azam FC in Tanzania
- Sihle Nduli, 29, Midfielder at Stellenbosch FC
- Bongani Zungu, 31, Midfielder, Clubless.
Due to the complex nature of transfer deals and negotiations, clubs often manage to sign a third of players from a long list of targets.
