Kaizer Chiefs transfer news: Castillo, Appollis, Olunga, Basadien

Kaizer Chiefs are set to be once again more active during the next transfer period.

Amakhosi have signed a total of 10 players under Nasreddine Nabi this season. Despite spending over R50 million on the signings, Amakhosi have struggled for consistency this campaign, losing six league matches thus far.

Most of their new signings have done relatively well giving Nabi something to work with next season. With the transfer window closed, Kaizer Chiefs will need to use the next three months to assess their squad and see which players they can add.

This week, the club reportedly extended Edson Castillo’s stay, ending speculation of his client’s possible departure from Chiefs.

“I can confirm that Edson will stay for another season, he has renewed his contract with Chiefs and there is also an option to continue for another year,” said the player’s agent Mauricio Andrade.

“Edson is very happy with his extension as it was his desire to continue with club for next years to come. He is committed to help the team win trophies,” he said as per iDiski Times.

Kaizer Chiefs have been linked with several players in the past 12 months and one that has been mentioned the most is Oswin Appollis. The 23-year-old is still with Polokwane City but the likelihood is that this will be his last season with Rise and Shine.

It remains to be seen if Kaizer Chiefs will pounce in the next transfer period. Another top player who has been on Amakhosi’s radar is Fawaaz Basadien. With Chiefs needing a quality left-back, the Stellenbosch experienced defender might be what the club need to return to the top.

Kenyan legend Michael Olunga has also been linked to the Soweto giants.
