Kaizer Chiefs head coach Fernando Da Cruz has identified a major weakness in his squad as the club prepares for the January transfer window, admitting that the team still lacks experience in certain important positions despite making several signings before the start of the season.

The French coach has made it clear that Amakhosi are determined to improve their performances during the second half of the campaign. However, he insists that the club will not rush into the transfer market simply to satisfy supporters or respond to external pressure.

According to Da Cruz, Chiefs must first assess their performances over the coming weeks before deciding which areas require additional investment. He believes making the right signings is more important than bringing in several players who may not address the team's actual problems.

The coach also highlighted the importance of recruiting experienced footballers who can provide leadership and guidance to the younger members of the squad. While Chiefs have several promising youngsters, Da Cruz believes playing and training alongside established professionals could accelerate their development and improve the team's overall consistency.

Amakhosi strengthened their squad with the arrivals of Renaldo Leaner, Faiz Abrahams, Adolf Mtasingwa, Khanyisa Mayo, Langelihle Phili, Thabo Moloisane and Elias Mokwana.

Despite these additions, Chiefs have endured an inconsistent campaign. Their hopes of winning the MTN8 and CAF Confederation Cup have already ended, while their position in the Betway Premiership standings has dropped to fifth after an encouraging start.

Mokwana's arrival was another important addition to the squad, although the Bafana Bafana winger will need time to recover from his injury before he can make a significant contribution to the team, according to Da Cruz.

With the January transfer window approaching, Chiefs could explore opportunities to strengthen their squad, particularly in positions where experience and leadership are lacking.

The club's priority will be to identify suitable players who can make an immediate impact and help Amakhosi improve their performances during the second half of the season.
