๐จ Kaizer Chiefs LAND TWO SUPERSTARS! Feisal Salum & Ethan Chislett SIGN in Stunning Double Deal! โก๐ฅ
Kaizer Chiefs have shaken the foundations of the PSL with a stunning double signing that signals their most ambitious transfer window in years.
The arrival of Feisal Salum, the dynamic Tanzanian midfielder, and Ethan Chislett, the British-born South African playmaker, represents a powerful statement of intent from a club desperate to return to the summit of South African football.
These arenโt just namesโtheyโre game-changers.
And their acquisitions could tilt the entire balance of power in the 2025/26 season.
Letโs start with Feisal Salumโa name that might be unfamiliar to casual fans but is revered across East Africa.
The 25-year-old midfielder, previously lighting up the Tanzanian Premier League with Young Africans SC (Yanga), is known for his razor-sharp vision, fierce long-range shots, and ability to control the tempo of a game with jaw-dropping ease.
Nicknamed “Fei Toto” by fans, Salum has long been tipped for a move abroad, and now, heโs landed in South Africa’s most iconic club.
Chiefs had reportedly been tracking him for months, but negotiations were kept under extreme secrecy to avoid triggering interest from rival PSL teams.
The signing was only finalized after Chiefs agreed to a competitive fee and offered a long-term contract that reportedly includes performance-based bonuses and leadership responsibilities.
Salumโs impact is expected to be immediate.
His versatility allows him to slot into multiple midfield roles, but sources close to the club suggest heโll be deployed as a central orchestratorโfinally giving the Chiefs a creative heartbeat theyโve lacked for years.
His international experience, having played in both the CAF Champions League and with the Tanzanian national team, will bring maturity and composure to a midfield thatโs often crumbled under pressure in big matches.
And then thereโs Ethan Chislett, a name already buzzing across South African football.
Born in England but of South African heritage, Chislettโs rise through the English football system has been nothing short of inspiring.
Most recently playing for Port Vale in League One after a strong stint at AFC Wimbledon, Chislett is known for his silky ball control, intelligent positioning, and an eye for goal that can tear apart defenses.
His decision to come to South Africa isnโt just a career moveโitโs a homecoming.
And Chiefs fans are already calling him โThe English Engineโ of Naturena.
According to insiders, Chislett turned down offers from several English clubs to join Kaizer Chiefsโreportedly after being impressed by the clubโs renewed vision and promise of a central role in their tactical rebuild.
His contract, rumored to be one of the highest offered this window, includes incentives tied to both domestic and continental successโproof that Chiefs are not just building for the PSL but are eyeing CAF glory as well.
The combination of Salum and Chislett in the same midfield is causing a buzz that hasnโt been felt at Naturena in years.
On paper, the duo complements each other perfectlyโSalumโs deep-playmaking and physicality paired with Chislettโs technical finesse and attacking instinct create a midfield pairing that could finally go toe-to-toe with Sundowns’ dominance.
Coaches are already drawing up new formations to maximize their synergy, and preseason preparations are being adjusted to build the team around this new creative core.
Off the pitch, these signings are energizing a fanbase that had begun to lose faith.
Chiefs supporters have endured years of mediocrity, missed opportunities, and uninspired transfer windows.
But this time, the mood is different.
Social media has exploded with celebration, with hashtags like #WelcomeFeisal and #ChislettIsChiefs trending within hours of the announcement.
โThis is the most excited Iโve been in YEARS,โ wrote one fan on X (formerly Twitter).
Another posted, โWe didnโt just sign playersโwe signed purpose.
But what makes these signings even more fascinating is how strategic they are.
Unlike previous years where Chiefs relied on aging stars or panic buys, these moves seem calculated and visionary.
Both players are in their prime, hungry to prove themselves, and come with international experience.
More importantly, they represent a shift in transfer policyโChiefs are no longer just hunting within the PSL, but are now casting a wider net across Africa and Europe.
This global approach might finally allow the club to compete not just locally, but across the continent.
Thereโs also speculation that these moves are just the beginning.
Sources suggest Chiefs are actively scouting a defensive midfielder from West Africa and a Nigerian striker currently playing in Belgium.
If those deals go through, Chiefs could be on the verge of assembling their most formidable squad in over a decade.
Still, the pressure is now on.
With great signings come even greater expectations.
The spotlight will be burning hot on Salum and Chislett the moment they step onto the pitch.
Can they handle the weight of Naturenaโs legacy? Will they live up to the hype and finally break the title drought? Only time will tellโbut one thing is clear: Kaizer Chiefs arenโt playing it safe anymore.
Theyโre swinging for glory, and these two stars are leading the charge.
For now, the message from Naturena is loud and clear: The Kings are tired of waiting.
They’re here to win.
