At the start of the season, Chiefs made wholesale changes to their squad, getting rid of no fewer than 14 players while bringing over 10 new stars.

Arthur Zwane admitted not so long ago that Chiefs wanted to bring in more players during the January transfer window but they failed to because those they had earmarked were still contracted.

TWO HIGH-PROFILE STARS KAIZER CHIEFS CAN SIGN FOR FREE IN JULY

ANDILE JALI – MAMELODI SUNDOWNS

In what would be a shock deal, Chiefs have an outside chance of signing Andile Jali whose contract with Mamelodi Sundowns expires in June.

Jali and Sundowns are currently locked in negotiations, but to date, the two parties still cannot seem to agree on anything, and thus, leaving the door open for midfielder’s exit.

And Chiefs could be tempted to sign Jali from Sundowns just like they did with Ramahlwe Mphahlele, Leonardo Castro and Khama Billiat in recent years.
