Kaizer Chiefs are one of the most active Premier Soccer League clubs in the transfer market this summer, as they've had players leave and also a good number of quality players joining the club.
The Glamour Boys had a poor season in the Betway Premiership last term but ended the campaign on a good note by lifting the Nedbank Cup after beating Orlando Pirates in the final of the competition.
They've brought in players like Flavio Silva on a free transfer from Indonesia, Nkanyiso Shinga, and former Orlando Pirates stars Thabiso Monyane and Paseka Mako.

The Glamour Boys also decided not to sign Njabulo Blom on a permanent deal after his loan spell with the club came to an end this summer.
