Former Kaizer Chiefs star Junior Khanye has weighed in on the club’s transfer strategy, naming players that coach Nasreddine Nabi should have targeted this summer.

Kaizer Chiefs have been busy in the transfer market, acquiring seven players this summer, including the high-profile signing of Gaston Sirino, who joined the club on a free transfer. Sirino’s arrival was met with excitement, but Khanye suggests that there’s room for improvement in certain areas of the team.

Khanye Highlights Six Potential Targets
According to iDiskiTimes, Khanye outlined several players he believes Kaizer Chiefs should consider signing. He emphasized the need for reinforcements in the attacking and midfield departments, suggesting that the club has the financial resources to make bold moves.
“They are supposed to buy attackers and midfielders,” the former Glamour Boys player said. “They must go for Sipho Mbule; Chiefs got the financial capability to do so. Mbule and Siphele Mkhulise, even if they are not playing frequently, they were playing CAF Champions League for Mamelodi Sundowns. These guys bring a certain level of quality that the team needs.”
Khanye also mentioned that the club should consider reuniting with former player Khama Billiat, who recently returned to Zimbabwe. He praised Billiat’s abilities, highlighting his potential to elevate the team’s performance.
“Mkhulise and Mbule are quality players. Suppose the Glamour Boys signed those two players from Mamelodi Sundowns and brought back Khama Billiat. He’s of high quality, and I rate him. He was born with quality; he just needs the trust and the right environment to thrive,” Khanye added.
The analyst further suggested that Kaizer Chiefs should have acted faster to secure Deano van Rooyen, who ultimately joined Orlando Pirates. He believes the right-back would have been a better fit for Amakhosi.
“Keanu Cupido, the defender. Suppose they signed him and Deano, the right fullback who went to Pirates. I thought Amakhosi could’ve signed him. And one of the Stellenbosch defenders, Ismail Toure or Thabo Moloisane, and go all out for Ricardo Goss, even if it requires breaking the bank,” he concluded.
Impressive New Signing in Action
Earlier, Briefly News reported on a standout performance by a new Kaizer Chiefs signing during Rwanda’s clash with Nigeria in the AFCON 2025 qualifiers. The Rwandan international, who joined Amakhosi from another Premier Soccer League club this summer, showcased his talent on the international stage, leaving fans optimistic about his contributions to the team.
This new addition to the squad is just one example of the club’s efforts to strengthen its lineup. As the transfer window draws to a close, fans will be watching closely to see if more exciting signings are on the horizon. With Junior Khanye’s recommendations in mind, there’s hope that the Glamour Boys will make strategic moves to secure a competitive edge in the upcoming season.
