4 Players Getting Contracts From Chiefs.
Mzansi football is buzzing with hot transfer news as Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly closing in on four major signings ahead of the 2025/26 season.
The Glamour Boys are serious about a full squad rebuild, and if the latest reports are anything to go by, fans might soon see Sipho Mbule, Thembinkosi Lorch, Fawaaz Basadien, and Feisal Salum donning the famous gold and black jersey.
Let’s break down each player linked to Naturena — and what they could bring to Amakhosi.
Sipho Mbule – The Midfield Maestro Returns?
Once considered one of Mzansi’s brightest talents, Sipho Mbule is reportedly back on Kaizer Chiefs’ radar after a tough spell at Mamelodi Sundowns.
While game time has been limited, his vision, creativity, and passing range remain top-tier.
Chiefs are believed to be keen on reviving his career and using him as the heartbeat of their midfield. “Mbule just needs the right environment and trust – Chiefs could be that place,” said a source close to the club.
Thembinkosi Lorch – A Shock Move from Rivals?
Yes, you read that right. Thembinkosi Lorch, the former Orlando Pirates darling, is rumored to be in talks with Kaizer Chiefs.
While this would be a bombshell signing, insiders say Lorch is open to a fresh start away from Pirates, especially after recent off-field controversies and injury setbacks.
His flair, big-game experience, and goal-scoring ability could make him a game-changer at Naturena — if Chiefs can pull off the unthinkable.
Fawaaz Basadien – Left-Back Reinforcements
Kaizer Chiefs have long needed a reliable left-back, and Stellenbosch FC’s Fawaaz Basadien is reportedly at the top of their list.
Known for his pace, crossing ability, and solid defensive awareness, Basadien could finally solve the full-back headache Chiefs have struggled with for seasons.
The 27-year-old has had a strong campaign in the DStv Premiership and is believed to be very interested in the move.
Feisal Salum – The Tanzanian Playmaker
From East Africa with love! Chiefs are also said to be eyeing Feisal Salum, the dynamic midfielder from Young Africans SC in Tanzania.
Salum has wowed fans in the CAF Champions League with his composure, dribbling, and long-range rockets.
This would be a major cross-border signing that shows Chiefs are ready to expand their scouting network beyond the PSL. “Feisal is Chiefs quality – no question about it,” said a former Yanga SC coach.
Mzansi Reacts: “This Could Be a Dream Window!”
Kaizer Chiefs fans have taken to social media to express their excitement (and cautious optimism) about these transfer links.
Hashtags like #AmakhosiRebuild, #MbuleToChiefs, and #LorchShockMove are already trending.
“If we sign Lorch AND Mbule? We’re cooking next season!”
“Basadien is solid. We need that left-back fire.”
