Kaizer Chiefs have now gone 10 years without silverware, having last lifted the Premier Soccer League (PSL) title in 2015.

Since then, Amakhosi have not won anything despite changing coaches eight times. Under Nasreddine Nabi, the club showed promise, but inconsistent results have seen them placed eighth in the Betway Premiership. With eight matches to go this season, Chiefs can still finish in the top five.

Amakhosi could end their trophy drought this season if they win the Nedbank Cup. Nabi’s men reached the semi-final of the competition and could face either Mamelodi Sundowns or Sekhukhune United.

Having signed 10 players this season, all eyes were on the Glamour Boys. Only half of the players have shown up this campaign.

Here are four players Kaizer Chiefs need to sign to challenge for the title:

Fawaaz Basadien

The Stellenbosch star is arguably the best left-back in the country at the moment. If Amakhosi increase its bid for Basadien, it will have a solid defence next season.

Feisal Salum

If Kaizer Chiefs can find a way to sign Salum, then they have every chance of winning the title. The midfielder scored nearly 20 goals last season and is one of Tanzania’s top players.

Fiston Mayele

Amakhosi need a top striker and Mayele is definitely a man that can solve their goalscoring problems. It is rumoured that the Congolese star has requested a transfer from Pyramids and could be available end of the season.

Sipho Mbule

With Thabo Cele in the middle, Mbule can be another great addition to the team’s strong midfield. The 27-year-old has struggled for game time at Down and might be what Amakhosi need next season. Mbule has won two league titles and him going to Kaizer Chiefs could revive his career.
