Kaizer Chiefs coach Ernst Middendorp has not ruled out the possibility of bringing in more signings before the transfer window deadline, writes DYLAN APPOLIS.

With a few days remaining in the PSL transfer window, Amakhosi have already made five new signings for the services of Yagan Sasman, Lazarous Kambole, James Kotei, Samir Nurkovic and Kearyn Baccus.

However, only three out their five new signings have featured for the club, who currently sit top of the Absa Premiership standings following their 2-1 victory over Cape Town City at Newlands Stadium on Tuesday.

Middendorp admits he is happy with the quality at his disposal, but could bring in more players before transfer deadline day.

‘I said last week already, we have a squad with a lot of potential. We have a lot of players that are not playing yet, like Siyabonga Ngezana, Happy Mashiane, Yagan Sasman, James Kotei; we are still working on Leonardo Castro, we have a lot of players that are not here,’ he said.

‘At the moment I am not able to identify myself in happiness … what has happened, I am not really sure about it. You always as a coach want to have more quality but as I can say, we are on the market, and that is why the club has a scouting department, and the scouting is like shaving – you have to do it at least every second day otherwise you don’t look good.

‘But, I could say nothing will happen on the 2 September 2019; we are always looking, but we are not desperate.’

Kaizer Chiefs will be hoping to continue their current momentum when they welcome Polokwane City to the FNB Stadium on 14 September, with kick-off set for 6pm.
