January signings making impact in PSL

1 Glody Lilepo

Lilepo joined Kaizer Chiefs from European side Valenciennes and has gone on to be a good addition to the Amakhosi squad.

He made his debut as a second-half substitute against Orlando Pirates in the Soweto derby and scored his first goal for Chiefs against AmaZulu FC before winning the man of the match against Stellenbosch FC, scoring the only goal of the tie.

The Congolese striker scored Kaizer Chiefs' only goal in their 4-1 loss against SuperSport United.

2 Lucas Suarez

Suarez was brought in from South America in the January transfer window, and he hit the ground running immediately.
