Three players spotted in Kaizer Chiefs training

According to a report by the South African, three new players were spotted training with Kaizer Chiefs first-team ahead of the Premier Soccer League return.

Two of those players were part of the squad featured in the Home of Legends Cup tournament over the weekend.

Reports also suggest that Nabi is planning to sign one of the players for the Glamour Boys due to his performance in training and for the reserve team in the DSTv Diski Challenge.

Xolani Cossa and Ofentse Kgosana were seen training with Kaizer Chiefs first team and made the bench during their 2-0 win over Golden Arrows in the Home of Legends Cup semi-final over the weekend.

Cossa made the bench in the final against Sundowns, and he's hoping to break into Amakhosi's first team after having a good run in DDC for the reserve team.
