In an attempt to rejuvenate their ageing roster, the Brazilians made a number of fascinating additions. Sundowns have signed six new players: Thabiso Kutumela, Neo Maema, Sifiso Ngobeni, Grant Kekana, and Pavol Safranko.

Sundowns still have adequate depth in their roster despite failing to recruit Teboho Mokoena, Ronwen Williams, and Sipho Mbule according to The South African.

2. Orlando Pirates

The Buccaneers had already boosted their technical crew with the arrival of Mandla Ncikazi when Josef Zinnbauer departed two games into the season.

Kwame Peprah, Goodman Mosele, Kwanda Mngonyama, and Olisa Ndah are among the Pirates' newcomers. What will thrill their supporters the most is the addition of a new striker in Peprah, as well as two new centre-backs in Mngonyama and Ndah.

3. Kaizer Chiefs

Kaizer Chiefs, as expected, did some serious business this season after being unable to do so for the previous two transfer windows due to the FIFA ban.

The fact that the Chiefs bolstered their team with great players such as Njabulo Ngcobo, Keagan Dolly, Sibusiso Mabiliso, and Brandon Petersen, among others, makes them the ones who did the best business.

However, there is a gleam of optimism that the PSL will restore the dignity of jersey No.10 this season. This arises after several clubs assigned this shirt number to individuals who are more than capable of pulling the strings and creating opportunities out of thin air.

The new No.10 brigade is led by Keagan Dolly of Kaizer Chiefs, Sipho Mbule of SuperSport United, and Mduduzi Mdantsane of Cape Town City. Only three games into the new season, the trio has already shown flashes of brilliance according to SowetanLIVE.
