Kaizer Chiefs are exploring different ways to improve their squad, particularly for next year, by signing a few more players, the Siya crew investigates where this could be.
Amakhosi's latest target, according to Siya sources close to the club, is Stellenbosch FC midfielder Sihle Nduli.

The sources indicated that scouts and recruiters from Chiefs have been monitoring Nduli's progress and believe he could add a different dimension in midfield.
"The interest in Nduli has been there for some time but maybe it was not in the open because there were other players at the same club that Chiefs were looking at as they didn't want to mix things up," said the Siya source.
"But now, since it's believed that they could not get those other players then they are looking at how to work with Stellenbosch FC and see if they can get Nduli. The thing is that they are looking at if they don't keep Njabulo Blom and Sibongiseni Mthethwa then they will need a defensive midfielder like Sihle (Nduli) and that's why they are considering him for the future," the source added.
A second insider stated that Chiefs are looking at reinforcing their central midfield department, and Nduli is one player the scouts and recruiters have identified.
"It's not like there are talks going on yet after the recommendation from their scouts and recruiters. So, we have to wait first for Chiefs to make the official approach to Stellies and if there are talks then those talks will determine whether they agree on a deal or not. But the interest from Chiefs is there," the second insider stated.

The 29-year-old former TS Galaxy defensive midfielder has started the season strongly for Stellies and is regarded highly in that department in South Africa.
Soccer Laduma contacted Chiefs for comment, but there was no response at the time of publishing. As Chiefs look to strengthen their squad in 2025, the potential addition of Nduli could provide the midfield reinforcement they need.
However, the Siya crew understands it is more likely Chiefs could move for the player next season than in January, unless Amakhosi loses another central midfielder before then.
