Goalkeepers

Nsabata is a target for Chiefs, according to the tweet below:

Despite buying Rwandan goalkeeper Fiacre Ntwari in the off-season, Chiefs have been linked with a new shot-stopper in the January transfer window.

The Soweto side has only kept one clean sheet this season, but reports suggested they could offload Ntwari and pursue Zambian star Toaster Nsabata.

Nsabata previously played in the PSL at Sekhukhune United, while Chiefs have also been linked with Chippa United goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali.

Defenders

Chiefs began the season with a new centre back pairing in the form of Inacio Miguel and Rushwin Dortley but the pair's performance has droppeed due to suspensions and a lack of form.

Stellenbosch FC star Ismael Toure has been linked with the club, while teammate and left-back Fawaaz Basadien is also a target for the Soweto giants.

Midfielders

Tanzanian star Feisal Salum is the prime target for Chiefs, but the talented star could cost a heavy price if he could sign a new deal at his current club, Azam FC.

Amakhosi supporters have criticised skipper Yusuf Maart, saying the player should leave the club, while promising youngster Mduduzi Shabalala has been linked with European clubs.

Current Chiefs star George Matlou has been deemed as surplus to demands at the Soweto giants, and he could leave during the January window to make space for new players

Strikers

Mayele is a target for Chiefs, according to the tweet below:

The one department Chiefs will look to improve is their attack after being linked with African stars Fiston Mayele and Michael Olunga.

Both players are in good attacking form and could easily solve Chiefs' problems in front of goal, having scored 16 goals in 13 PSL matches.

Currently, Chiefs have relied on wingers Wandile Duba and Ranga Chivaviro to score goals as striker Ashely du Preez has failed to impress in the famous black and gold jersey.

Kaizer Chiefs could lose a top star to Europe

As Briefly News reported, Kaizer Chiefs could lose star player Mduduzi Shabalala in the January transfer window after the player attracted interest from European clubs.

Shabalala has been Amakhosi's standout star this season, and the Soweto club is determined to keep him in Soweto by offering him a new contract.
