1. Nasreddine Nabi

Tunisian tactician Nasreddine Nabi is reportedly set to replace Gavin Hunt as the new head coach of the Kaizer Chiefs.

2. Edson Castillo

Venezuelan midfielder Edson Castillo has recently signed a deal with the Kaizer Chiefs. Castillo, 29, brings experience, skill, and versatility to the team’s midfield. His addition is expected to be a significant boost for the team as they strive to raise their level of play in the coming season.

3. Thulani Serero

Al Jazira’s 33-year-old midfield maestro, Thulani Serero, is another potential addition to the Kaizer Chiefs. With a successful career in Europe and the Gulf, Serero’s contract with Al Jazira is set to expire this month. The experienced player’s poise, skill, and leadership qualities can prove to be a valuable asset for the Chiefs in the heart of their midfield.

4. Ashley Cupido

Cape Town Spurs’ star player, Ashley Cupido, has been consistently linked with a move to the Kaizer Chiefs or Pirates. With the Spurs gaining promotion to the top-flight, their bargaining position has significantly strengthened. However, Cupido’s exceptional talent might be hard for the Chiefs to resist, and his potential addition to the team could be a game-changer.

5. Fiston Mayele

Young Africans’ prolific goal-scorer, Fiston Mayele, is yet another promising player who could join the Kaizer Chiefs’ ranks. Mayele has achieved remarkable success with manager Nabi, winning a treble in their recent campaign. His scoring prowess could be instrumental in bolstering the Chiefs’ attacking options and propelling the team to greater heights.

The Kaizer Chiefs are determined to shake things up for the upcoming season. With the addition of these new faces, the team’s prospects for success look bright. Only time will tell how these changes will unfold, but it is clear that the Kaizer Chiefs are ready to revitalize the team and strive for greatness.
