Kaizer Chiefs head coach Fernando Da Cruz has revealed an important concern within his squad as the club prepares for the January transfer window, admitting that the team still lacks experience in certain key positions despite bringing in several new players ahead of the current season.

The French tactician has made it clear that Amakhosi are determined to improve during the second half of the campaign. However, he insists that the club will not rush into signing players simply to satisfy supporters or respond to pressure from outside.

Da Cruz believes that Chiefs must carefully assess their performances over the coming weeks before deciding which positions require strengthening. According to the coach, making the right signings is more important than bringing in several players who might not address the team's actual weaknesses.

He also highlighted the importance of adding experienced footballers who can help guide the club's younger talents. While Chiefs have promising young players, Da Cruz believes that competing and training alongside more experienced teammates could accelerate their development and improve the team's overall stability.

The admission comes despite Chiefs making several additions to their squad, including Renaldo Leaner, Faiz Abrahams, Adolf Mtasingwa, Khanyisa Mayo, Langelihle Phili, Thabo Moloisane and Elias Mokwana.

Nevertheless, Amakhosi have experienced an inconsistent campaign, with their MTN8 and CAF Confederation Cup ambitions already ending. Although they started the Betway Premiership season positively, they have since dropped to fifth position.

Mokwana's arrival is another important development, although Da Cruz has indicated that the Bafana Bafana winger needs time to recover from injury before making a full contribution.

The January transfer window could therefore provide Chiefs with an opportunity to address their weaknesses, particularly by recruiting experienced players capable of improving the team's performances during the second half of the season.
