Kaizer Chiefs Transfer Update: Three exciting new players have been officially announced in a clear message about the club’s ambition to bounce back stronger domestically and on the continent in the 2025/26 PSL season. The new signings include Flávio Silva, the Portuguese striker; Ethan Chislett, attacking midfielder; and Nkanyiso Shinga, a utility left-back.
Flávio Silva: A Striker That Knows How to Score
The Chiefs have signed Portuguese striker Flávio Silva, born in Guinea-Bissau, from Indonesia side Persebaya Surabaya. Silva has been scoring goals with regularity over a few season, with an impressive tally of nine goals in 33 appearances last season and prior to that, an unthinkable 30 goals in 45 games for Persik Kediri. The player brings to the table his goal-scoring ability and physical presence, an element the Chiefs have been lacking for a while now. Silva is to wear the number 77 for this campaign.
Ethan Chislett: Creativity Reset in the Midfield
Kaizer Chiefs have thrown their very own hero back into the fold, with Ethan Chislett, a 26-year-old attacking midfielder famed for his creative abilities and intelligent build-up play. Born in Durban, Chislett trained in England and Spain before coming back home. Last season, he came up with some big moments for Port Vale, utilizing his ability to break down stubborn defences and carve out goal-scoring chances-a quality that Chiefs have sorely lacked in recent years.
Nkanyiso Shinga: Versatility and Stability in Defence
From a defensive perspective, Chiefs have managed to lure Nkanyiso Shinga away from FC Alverca of Portugal. At 25 years of age, this durable Durban-born defender is capable of lining up at left-back but further up the field in midfield and attack. His pace and flexibility give Chiefs tactical options as they try to shore up their backline for the new testing season.
Pre-Season Prepared: Netherlands Tour in Prospect
All the new acquisitions shall proceed to the Netherlands for a camp that starts on the 3rd of July. The pre-season promotional trip is meanwhile the last chance for the team to concentrate on integration and bonding, with tactical fine-tuning on the cards just before all competitive action commences in both the PSL and the CAF Confederation Cup—in August.
Building Squad Depth and Amphibious Training of Targets
Thus, the additions reflect upon the general rebuilding equation of Kaizer Chiefs. Targeting urgent areas—from defensive stability to creativity in the middle of the park, as well as finishing up front—they intend to fix their shortcomings and return to challenging for championships. Eyes fixed firmly on elite status, these strategic moves are a sign of intent from the Naturena giants.
