Kaizer Chiefs made a total of 10 new signings this season, but too many failed to convince the coaches and supporters. Let’s look at the latest list of targets for next season to build on the likes of Given Msimango and Pule Mmodi.
KAIZER CHIEFS TARGET FOUR PLAYERS
According to recent reports in locals media, Elias Mokwana, Oswin Appollis, Ashley Cupido and Fawaaz Basadien have been discussed in the Kaizer Chiefs offices. Mokwana and Appollis’ values have taken a big jump after impressing in the colours of Bafana Bafana in 2024. Cupido has started to regain form after scoring two goals for Cape Town Spurs in the past five games, while Basadien signed a new deal with Stellenbosch FC to avoid a free transfer.
Full Statistics:
- Fawaaz Basadien, 27, left-back, Stellenbosch FC – Six assists in 24 matches
- Oswin Appollis, 22, forward – Polokwane City – Five goals and three assists in 22 matches
- Elias Mokwana, 24, forward – Sekhukhune United – Four goals and five assists in 26 matches
- Ashley Cupido, 22, forward – Cape Town Spurs – Six goals and one assist in 21 matches.

SEVEN PLAYERS TO LEAVE AMAKHOSI
In the meantime, seven players facing expiring contract deals in June at Naturena.
Kaizer Chiefs management have another hectic transfer window coming up. It is April and Itumeleng Khune, Njabulo Ngcobo, Happy Mashiane, Sifiso Hlanti, Siyethemba Sithebe, George Matlou and Jasond Gonzalez‘s contracts are yet to be sorted.

The list also includes players who have not been part of the regular playing squad, including the legendary Khune and the highly experienced Hlanti.

- Happy Mashiane, 26, left-back/midfielder
