Confirmed: Chiefs coaches tell bosses which players they want

Kaizer Chiefs’ January transfer intentions have been heavily scrutinised. Here’s the latest from Amakhosi assistant coach Ben Khalil Youssef.

KAIZER CHIEFS BOSSES EXPECTED TO DELIVER

Speaking to the media before this weekend’s match against Sekhukhune United, Amakhosi’s Youssef was asked to share the latest transfer intentions at Kaizer Chiefs. According to the Tunisian, the technical team have given their list of wanted players. “The final decision, that’s the decision of the board, you know,” Yussef told journalists at the pre-match conference. “We have prepared everything on which players we need and what we want but it’s the decision of the board. They will also look at things from their side and see which one will be possible and they will take it from there. From our side we have done our part,” the Kaizer Chiefs technical team number two said.

FIACRE NTWARI LEAVING AMAKHOSI?

Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly planning to make a quick decision that was not expected five months ago.

The 24-year-old Burundian goalkeeper joined Amakhosi in August 2024 from TS Galaxy. He briefly owned the gloves before a few errors and an injury on international duty cost him his number-one spot at Kaizer Chiefs in November 2024. According to Soccer Laduma, the Soweto Giants are considering a loan deal to recruit Zambia’s Toaster Nsabata.

“The club has identified that the department is a bit shaky and that’s why they have enquired about Zambia national team goalkeeper Toaster Nsabata,” the report said. “But to bring him in they need to at least release one or loan one goalkeeper and they are considering loaning out Ntwari at the moment. It’s not clear whether it would in January or at the end of the season. For now, the main focus is one goalkeeper at a time, and are going at the moment,” the report added.
