Kaizer Chiefs announced Thabo Moloisane as their first signing. It followed after former co-coach Khalil Ben Youssef outlined that Amakhosi will need five key players to compete next season.
Amakhosi confirmed the signing of Moloisane via social media, welcoming the 115-game defender as an experienced addition to the back line.
His arrival strengthens the defence, but it also highlights how much work still remains in the squad rebuild.
THABO MOLOISANE OPENS KAIZER CHIEFS DOOR
Ben Youssef had told Andile Ncube on Sports Amplified that Amakhosi needed five immediate-impact signings: “One left winger, one midfielder, one left full-back, one goalkeeper and one centre back.”
With Moloisane now secured at centre-back, that leaves four more key positions still to be filled if the squad is to meet those expectations.
He also stressed the profile of players needed: “The other four players must be top players ready to play immediately,” Ben Youssef said.
With the first piece now in place, Kaizer Chiefs still need:
- Left winger
- Central midfielder
- Left full-back
- Goalkeeper cover
The message from the former technical team is clear, one signing is not enough for the Betway Premiership giants. The rebuild is only just beginning, and four more deals are expected to complete the picture.
POSSIBLE TARGETS FOR AMAKHOSI
Central midfielder
Kaizer Chiefs have reportedly made progress in their pursuit of Golden Arrows midfielder Ayabulela Maxwele ahead of the new Betway Premiership season.
According to leading Naturena insider Innocent Mkhize, Amakhosi have already agreed personal terms with Maxwele as they look to strengthen their midfield options ahead of the upcoming season.
However, the deal is not yet complete, with the player’s future now seemingly dependent on a decision from Golden Arrows chairlady Mato Madlala.
Left-backs
Neo Rapoo has snatched by Orlando Pirates from Siwelele FC, and Fawaaz Basadien firmly tied to Mamelodi Sundowns. Kaizer Chiefs have a shot at Sekhukhune United’s Vuyo Letlapa.
Left-wingers
Amakhosi should be targeting Stellenbosch FC’s Langelihle Phili, Keletso Makgwalwa from Sekhukhune United or TS Galaxy’s Seluleko Mahlambi.
Goalkeeper
The club is promotion the 18-year-old Takalani Mazhamba, who made his official debut in the final game of last season against Chippa United.
