Kaizer Chiefs are expected to make more signings this summer after a disastrous 2023-24 season in the DStv Premiership.

The Glamour Boys are reportedly interested in signing one of Cape Town Spurs' stars in the summer but could be put off the deal by the transfer fee.

Amakhosi are not only in the market for a new manager but also for players, despite making 10 signings in the just concluded season.

According to a report by iDiskiTimes, per the South African, Kaizer Chiefs target, Rushwin Dortley, will not be leaving Cape Town Spurs easily despite the club being relegated from the DStv Premiership this season.

The Urban Warriors are said to have placed an R6 million price tag on the 22-year-old left full-back.

"Dortley was the subject of interest from Danish Superliga side, FC Nordsjaelland, and Kaizer Chiefs before winning promotion with Spurs last season," the publication stated.
"Dortley may have to be sold in order to balance the books in the Motsepe Foundation Championship with a price tag set at R6 million."

Kaizer Chiefs will face stiff competition from other teams showing interest in the South African defender, but they could win the race if they cough up the transfer fee.

The R6 million price tag the Urban Warriors placed on Dortley proves to be a fair price, as the defender is versatile and young. He could end up at the FNB Stadium despite initially prioritising a move abroad.

Cavin Johnson stresses Chiefs' transfer policy

Sports Brief also reported on Cavin Johnson's insistence that Kaizer Chiefs did not need transfers in the January window.

Amakhosi brought in 10 new players in July last year, and the interim boss said that he had enough quality to work with.

Kaizer Chiefs resumed their season with a goalless draw against Royal AM, immediately prompting calls for a goal-scorer.
