It has only been defensive additions so far though, with only defensively orientated signings brought in. As it stands, Chiefs have signed the trio of Bongani Sam, Fiacre Ntwari and Rushwin Dortley. So far, it has only been the latter that has been unveiled by Amakhosi, this ahead of their 4-0 loss to Yanga SC. Neither of them did come on though, and had to watch the Toyota Cup loss to the Tanzanian giant. Sam is the only one of the trio who joined early enough to go to Turkey with the squad.
So far, they have struggled to bring in attacking players, having missed out on a number of targets. The likes Luther Singh, Lebo Mothiba, Andy Boyeli as well as Elias Mokwana. Now having failed to acquire any of the above, it is believed that Chiefs are trying hard to at least sign Oswin Appollis. The player is currently on the books of Polokwane City, who insist that he can leave, but only for a European side!
While trying to get a deal over the line for Appollis, this week saw Chiefs frantically linked with Sirino. The Uruguayan international has been a free agent since leaving arch-rivals Mamelodi Sundowns. He was also linked with neighbours Orlando Pirates. On Thursday, however, Amakhosi coach Nasreddine Nabi admitted to being interested in the playmaker.
