Kaizer Chiefs have secured three new signings ahead of the new season, and could be about to add a fourth.
So far, Chiefs have seen just one of those signings integrated with the team on pre-season tour in Turkey.
Chiefs have three signings so far
That signing being that of former Orlando Pirates player Bongani Sam. The left-back joins Chiefs directly from their Soweto rivals although he has not played for them in two years. He had spent the last season and a half at another Soweto giant in Moroka Swallows. He was a surprise signing and would’ve been hoping to get himself into the left-back position vacated by Sifiso Hlanti.
But after suffering what seems like a serious injury, Sam will have that ambition paused for now. The person who will now be hoping to take that spot is another new signing in Rushwin Dortley. The young left sided defender is at home both at centre-back and left-back and could find a vacancy. While he can also compete for centre-back, it is believed that Chiefs are interested in another experienced player in that position.
According to Unplayable, citing Angolan reports, Chiefs are eyeing a potential deal for Petro de Luanda centre-back Inácio Miguel. He is a right-footed player who is also comfortable playing as a defensive midfielder. He currently has five caps for the Angolan national team, having made his debut in 2020. Should he come to Naturena, he will be coming into a department with a lot of competition.
Looking to add Miguel?
Chiefs currently have Given Msimango, Thatoyoane Ditlhokwe, Zitha Kwinika ,Edmilson Dove and Dortley as centre-back options. With Dove thought to be put for a long-time, there could be a need for Miguel and his experience. It then remains to be seen if the club will go ahead and pursue the player.
Chiefs do you feel like the club needs another centre-back? Would Miguel do the trick? Leave your feelings and thoughts in the comments below.
