Kaizer Chiefs recruitment drive is now in full flow, with the club taking their amount of signings to seven last week, as they look to reclaim the glory.

One of the signings that was officially unveiled by Chiefs was Venezuelan international midfielder Edson Castillo, who joins the club on a free transfer.

Already thus far, Chiefs have released two veteran midfielders in Phathutshedzo Nange who has since joined up with his former coach Gavin Hunt at SuperSport United. Cole Alexander was another player who soon followed suit and is also rumoured to be on his way to SuperSport where he could also play under his former coach in Hunt. He could also be on way home, with Cape Town Spurs also rumoured to be on his way out. But either way, Castillo seems like a much needed new addition to the club.

It is not just the veterans that are said to be on their way out of Chiefs, however, with the likes of Sabelo Radebe tipped to leave the club, with Richards Bay FC thought to be an interested party. George Matlou is also believed to have been put up for transfer by the Chiefs management, despite only joining the club last season. The Amakhosi faithful have long since been calling for the club to sign a defensive midfielder, but those calls went quiet a bit last season with Njabulo Blom blossoming.

But just as Blom was coming of age, he was soon sold to Major League Soccer outfit St. Louis City, a move that seems to have been a masterstroke for the American side, the player and now the national team. But for Chiefs, it reopened a gap that Arthur Zwane thought he had finally closed. With Alexander injured, none of Yusuf Maart, Siyethemba Sithebe nor Samkelo Zwane were fully able to do a similar job in that position. But now, with the addition of Castillo, the Soweto giants may just have the answer to their problems.

With Chiefs now stepping up their pre-season plans in Mpumalanga, Castillo is thought to have wasted no time in joining his new teammates in training. Here is a first picture of the player in Amakhosi colours for the first time courtesy of Chiefs Twitter account.
