4 Positions Kaizer Chiefs Need to Bolster, Players They Can Sign Ahead of Next Season

• Kaizer Chiefs have been advice to invest more on players in the summer transfer window ahead of next season
• The Soweto giants struggled for most part of this campaign as they don't have the quality of players to compete with Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates
• A sport journalist has told the club on the key areas they need to strengthen and the kind of players they should consider buying

Kaizer Chiefs have struggled for most part of this season and one of the reasons behind that was their poor transfer plans when Nasreddine Nabi joined the club last summer.

The Soweto giants signed a lot of players during the summer transfer window and added more in January but they still struggle with consistency especially in the Betway Premiership.

They are in the Nedbank Cup final after eliminating Mamelodi Sundowns in the semis, but could end up completing a poor/underwhelming season if they fail to beat their arch rivals Orlando Pirates in the final.

Four positions Kaizer Chiefs need to sign new players

Sports journalist Uche Anuma, in an exclusive interview with Briefly News, shared his thoughts about the key areas Nasreddine Nabi needs to bolster before the start of next season.

"There are a lot of things happening with Kaizer Chiefs, but I am giving Nasreddine Nabi a benefit of doubt as he has constantly mentioned that this season is for transitioning, I guess that's the agreement he had with the management," he said.

"I will start judging his performance, transfer decisions and tactical prowess, when he gets a full summer to himself to do his own transfer dealings and get the players he wants in his squad."

Anuma also listed some of the positions Kaizer Chiefs need to bolster ahead of next season and the players they can sign.

"I think Kaizer Chiefs need new quality players in four positions before next season," he added.

"The most important ones are the goalkeeping department and the striking department. They need to do all they can to sign Stanley Nwabali from Chippa United this summer and also try to get Fiston Mayele from Pyramids FC, but I think this one would be hard as it will demand a huge transfer fee.

"They need a new attacking midfielder who can create chances out of nothing. Gaston Sirino is good, but they need a new player who can replace him — someone like Sinoxolo Kwayiba.

"A new left-back is also needed at Naturena. Bradley Cross has failed to make the position his own since joining the club last summer.

"Fawaaz Basadien has been on the Glamour Boys' radar since last season. He can fill the missing piece in Nabi's defence."
