Kaizer Chiefs have touched down in Turkey, kicking off their pre-season preparations with a trio of new faces in tow.
The influx of fresh talent signals a potentially exciting new era for the Soweto giants.
One of the newcomers is a familiar name – defender Bongani Sam. With Sifiso Hlanti’s departure leaving a void at left back, Sam has a chance to solidify his place in the starting lineup.
Joining Sam are two promising youngsters from the Chiefs DStv Diski Challenge team – midfielder Siphesihle Tati and left-sided midfielder/winger Nkosana Mbuthu. These young guns could find themselves thrust into the spotlight with the departures of Siyethemba Sithebe and Keagan Dolly.
Both Tati and Mbuthu will be eager to impress new coach Nasreddine Nabi during their Turkish training camp. A strong showing could see them earn valuable first-team opportunities in the upcoming season. W
ith a renewed focus on youth development, their journey in Turkey could be the start of something special for those players.
