Kaizer Chiefs are currently second on the Betway Premiership via goal difference after a perfect start so far this season.
Chiefs have won three out of their three games, collecting nine points with three clean sheets in the process.
Chiefs have signed nine players so far
Perhaps what has been most impressive is that, Chiefs have managed this feat with largely the same group as last season. In the previous campaign Amakhosi finished ninth for the second consecutive term. That meant that the Glamour Boys missed out on the ongoing MTN8 again. In an effort to avoid that feat for the third time in a row they have dipped heavily into the current market.
Chiefs have announced nine new signings so far, including three who were formerly based abroad. That trio being South African duo Ethan Chislett and Nkanyiso Shinga, alongside former Portugal youth international Flavio Silva. Amakhosi have been able to use three new signings thus far, in Thabiso Monyane, Siphesihle Ndlovu and Paseka Mako. The club was clearly not resting on their laurels after those acquisitions having made three more.
Latest three unveiled at FNB Stadium
Last week, Chiefs announced the signing of former Cape Town Spurs winger Asanele Velebayi on a free. The club confirmed the player has joined on a long-term deal. He was not the only player from the Urban Warriors to join Amakhosi. Former teammate Luke Baartman was also unveiled as a new Glamour Boy. The forwards will start training with their new teammates as soon as their case appeals are cleared.
A second player announced by Chiefs on Tuesday was former Mamelodi Sundowns striker Etiosa Ighodaro. The Nigerian international joins the club as a free agent. Now at half time of their 1-0 win over Richards Bay, all three of Ighodaro, Velebayi and Baartman were paraded in front of the Amakhosi faithful. Check it out!
Happy with Velebayi, Ighodaro and Baartman?
