As the team gets ready for the January transfer window, Kaizer Chiefs head coach Fernando Da Cruz has disclosed a significant issue with his team: despite adding a number of new players ahead of the current campaign, the team still lacks experience in some crucial positions.

Amakhosi are committed to improving during the second half of the campaign, according to the French tactician. He is adamant, though, that the team won't sign players in a hurry to appease fans or give in to outside pressure.

Before determining which positions need to be strengthened, Da Cruz thinks the Chiefs should carefully evaluate their performances over the next few weeks. The coach believes that selecting the correct players is more crucial than adding a number of players who might not solve the team's true shortcomings.

He also emphasised the value of bringing in seasoned football players who can mentor the team's younger players. Although the Chiefs have young players with promise, Da Cruz thinks that practicing and playing with more seasoned colleagues could hasten their growth and increase the team's stability as a whole.

The Chiefs have added Renaldo Leaner, Faiz Abrahams, Adolf Mtasingwa, Khanyisa Mayo, Langelihle Phili, Thabo Moloisane, and Elias Mokwana to their roster.

Amakhosi's season has been uneven, though, and their hopes of winning the MTN8 and CAF Confederation Cup have already been dashed. Despite having a strong start to the Betway Premiership season, they have now fallen to fifth place.

Although Da Cruz has stated that the Bafana Bafana winger needs time to recuperate from injury before making a major contribution, Mokwana's arrival is still a significant development.

Chiefs may thus have a chance to strengthen their areas of weakness during the January transfer window, especially by bringing in seasoned players who can boost the team's output in the second half of the season.
