With the latest signings of Njabulo Blom and Bradley Cross, Kaizer Chiefs are believed to be targeting two more signings before the transfer window closes at the end of the month, the Siya crew has been informed.

Sources close to the club have indicated that coach Nasreddine Nabi has requested for two more players to build a team capable of fighting for silverware this season.

The sources added that these two final signings would complete the puzzle that the Tunisian mentor envisions for Amakhosi moving forward.

"What the coach has said is that he would like to have two more signings before the transfer window period closes on the 30th of September. Obviously his main emphasis is on getting a striker. They have three main targets now in Fiston Mayele, Tumisang Orebonye and Michael Olunga. They are working around the clock to get at least one of these three. Then the second one could be an attacking midfielder or a winger," said the Siya source.

"They have looked at different players including Asanele Velebayi but that didn't work out and that's why they turned to AmaZulu FC winger Tshepang Moremi. So that's the target now to get at least two new signings before the transfer window closes," the source added.

Meanwhile, a second source stated that if the team can't get these players now, they will then do everything possible to sign them in the January transfer window.

"They are looking at the remaining three weeks to finalise these two signings but if that doesn't work out then they are waiting for the January window. You know the Afcon won't be in January next year so it will be a short December break and they want to utilise that if they can't get the two players they want in September. But to the technical team it's a must to get a striker and a winger. It's in their plans and management knows that," the second insider stated.

Soccer Laduma contacted Chiefs for comment, but there was no response at the time of publishing this story.
