Kaizer Chiefs have reportedly reached an agreement to sign a Portuguese-based defender!

The Glamour Boys are trying hard to build a squad worthy of competing with Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns.

While the club are yet to announce their new signings, a number of new faces have already been spotted at Naturena!

And now, two European-based players are also set to join the club!

Last week, Chiefs stole the headlines after reportedly reaching an agreement to sign English-based attacking midfielder Ethan Chislett!

The 26-year-old Durban-born footballer has over 200 English League One and League Two appearances to his name with 35 goals and 13 assists to show for it.

New reports suggest another big arrival is looming! Portuguese top-flight side FC Alverca’s Nkanyiso Shinga is set to return to South Africa to join Chiefs.

“Alverca has already reached a full agreement with the Kaizer Chiefs to sell Nkanyiso Shinga. The South African left-back had another year on his contract with the Ribatejans. The South African club assumes a value close to 200,000 Euros (R4,2 million) to have the 25-year-old player,” a Goal report citing European sources claimed.

Alverca won promotion to the Portuguese top-flight for the upcoming season.

The Amakhosi are expected to announce their blockbuster new acquisitions in the coming days.

Paseka Mako, Thabiso Monyane, Asenele Velebayi and Etiosa Ighodaro are all also expected to be unveiled by the Glamour Boys.

Will Nkanyiso Shinga fit in at Chiefs?

Do you think Nkanyiso Shinga is making the right move by returning to South Africa to join Kaizer Chiefs? Is it a step forward or backward for him?

Kaizer Chiefs’ EIGHT new signings and when they’ll be announced

Kaizer Chiefs have wrapped up a batch of new players to help them climb up the table next season. When will he club make announcements?

Thabiso Monyane is an intriguing arrival from Orlando Pirates.

Meanwhile, there are several new faces in the attack.

Kaizer Chiefs to add a host of new faces

Former Orlando Pirates full-back duo Paseka Mako and Thabiso Monyane would add experience in defence. 25-year-old Nkanyiso Shinga is another new option at left-back, after spending seven years in Portugal. 31-year-old Thibang ‘Cafu’ Phete is a versatile operator who can play as the hard man in midfield or in defence. 22-year-old winger Asanele Velebayi has been a long-standing target, while 26-year-old playmaker Ethan Chislett returns to South Africa after Port Vale got relegated to the fourth tier of English football. Etiosa Ighodaro and the relatively unknown Flavio Silva could bolster the attack. Chiefs leave for the Netherlands on Thursday, 03 July, and the club is expected to announce the new signings by that date

Chiefs pre-season tour schedule

08 July, 19:00 vs. Vitesse Arnhem

11 July, 16:00 vs. FC Utrecht (behind closed doors)

12 July, 14:00 vs. NEC Nijmegen

15 July, 19:00 vs. PEC Zwolle

16 July, 19:00 vs. FC Twente

None of Holland’s Big Three are taking part

The behind-closed-doors (no fans in the stadium) clash with Utrecht was initially going to be the first match of the tour. However, Chiefs face Vitesse first on 08 July. What’s also slightly underwhelming is that none of the traditional three giants, Ajax, Feyenoord or PSV Eindhoven, are on the itinerary. The last time that none of those sides won the Dutch Eredivisie was when Twente became champions in 2009-2010.

Have Kaizer Chiefs made good strides in the transfer market with these signings?
