Kaizer Chiefs are preparing for a high-stakes encounter with Mamelodi Sundowns at FNB Stadium tonight, and the squad has been significantly strengthened with several new signings. These fresh faces bring competition and depth, giving coach Nasreddine Nabi more options than ever before.
Key Signings Bolstering Chiefs’ Squad
The off-season signings of Lebohang Maboe, Ethan Chislett, Flavio Silva, Nkanyiso Shinga, Siphesihle Ndlovu, Thabiso Monyane, Paseka Mako, and Etiosa Ighodaro have given Chiefs much-needed strength in key areas. While Maboe may not start tonight, he’s expected to become a regular as the season progresses, offering creativity and experience in midfield.
Along with Maboe, Chislett and Ndlovu are likely to challenge for positions in the midfield, while Silva and Ighodaro add firepower up front. These signings ensure that Chiefs have more depth for both domestic and continental competitions.
