Kaizer Chiefs new LB: Targets to replace Hlanti identified!

Kaizer Chiefs new left back targets identified to replace S’fiso Hlanti as new technical team and players are coming together. Chiefs are wasting no time in finding a suitable replacement for released left-back S’fiso Hlanti, with two top targets in their sights, as per iDiski Times. The Naturena-based club is eager to fortify their defense for the 2024/25 season, and Nabi’s arrival has heightened the urgency in the transfer market.

Rushwin Dortley, a standout performer in the 2023/2024 season at Cape Town Spurs, has been a long-term target for Kaizer Chiefs. His impressive skills and versatility make him an attractive option for Nabi’s system. Dortley’s ability to feature in various positions across the backline has caught the eye of the Chiefs’ scouts. They believe he can bring a new dimension to the team’s defence.

Amid swirling transfer rumours, Spurs CEO Alexi Efstathiou discussed Rushwin Dortley’s future, stating: “There’s a lot of interest in the player, we will see what happens. We will never disclose which teams are interested, but Kaizer Chiefs, yeah, they were interested about two years ago, I’m not sure what happened.”

Anderson Cruz: The versatile alternative

Petro de Luanda’s Anderson Cruz is another strong contender for the left-back spot. With his ability to feature in both defence and attack, Cruz is an attractive asset for Nabi’s squad. His impressive performance in the domestic double has earned him interest from Morocco and Egypt. Which has made him a hot commodity in the transfer market. Cruz’s experience playing in Portugal, Spain, and Bolivia has honed his skills, making him a valuable addition to the Chiefs’ squad.

Battle for signature intensifies

As Kaizer Chiefs and other clubs vie for Cruz’s signature. Petro de Luanda is eager to retain their star player. A new contract has been tabled to keep him happy. But the Angola international’s desire for a new challenge outside the country may prove too great to resist. Chiefs’ fans are eagerly waiting to see if the club can secure Cruz’s services. Which would bring in quality and be a significant coup for Nabi’s side.

With Nasreddine Nabi at the helm, Kaizer Chiefs are building a formidable squad for the 2024/25 season. Who will secure the coveted left-back spot? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – the Amakhosi faithful are in for an exciting ride! As the transfer window heats up, Chiefs’ fans can expect more twists and turns in the pursuit of defensive reinforcements. Stay tuned!
