Kaizer Chiefs have announced the signings of three new players ahead of their trip to the Netherlands this week.
Chiefs are looking to leave no stone unturned as they look to improve their fortunes from the previous two seasons.

But because of their 2-1 victory in the final to clinch the Nedbank Cup, they’ll be back on the continent. This in the form of the CAF Confederation Cup, which will be their first foray in Africa since 2021. Now in ensuring that they have enough firepower, Amakhosi have already announced three new signings.
