Kaizer Chiefs have signed three players during the January transfer period as they look to end the season on a high.

Having brough seven players before the start of the 2024/25 campaign, Amakhosi struggled to compete for top honours, forcing coach Nasreddine Nabi to bring in new players. The three players bought in January are Makabi Lilepo, Thabo Cele and Tashreeq Morris.

Kaizer Chiefs defender Miguel Inacio, explained what the trio bring to the club. Both Cele and Lilepo have impressed since arrival however Morris is yet to find his feet.

“One hundred percent. Not only because of their quality but the competition inside the group you know, with injuries that can happen, suspensions, we had a small squad and with one, two, three players [coming in] it becomes different in practice in games and with Cele, Lilepo, Morris, brings more competition, you know,” Miguel told iDiski Times.

Kaizer Chiefs have beefed their squad in January

“Our strikers, for example, can’t relax in training because Morris is there and he’s hungry to bring something different,” Miguel continued

“Also, Lilepo brings competition for wingers. In the middle, it’s the biggest challenge: who to play now with seven players for two positions.

“So it’s good for training and the development of the players who need to work harder with more competition. It’s good to have a squad like this,” the Kaizer Chiefs defender concluded.

Amakhosi are again in action later this month against Golden Arrows in a Betway Premiership match. The club are currently eight on the log.
