Kaizer Chiefs picked up their first pre-season win on Tuesday evening after edging PEC Zwolle 1-0. Silva was part of the winning team and showed glimpses of what he's capable of. He also unfortunately showed some rustiness which he'll have to quickly shrug off ahead of the new season.

Kaizer Chiefs - Full list: Main transfer targets in each position
Kaizer Chiefs have wrapped uop their pre-season tour of the Netherlands and it is clear that they need to make some big changes. Kaizer Chiefs won just one of their five matches during their pre-season tour to the Netherlands. So, they are going to need to recruit some new players in key positions. Let's take a look at their main transfer targets in each position. CHIEFS MAIN TRANSFER TARGETS Goalkeeper: Stanley Nwabili/ Croatian Defenders: Fawaaz Basadien Midfielders: Mihlali Mayambela, Jaedin Rhodes and Luke Baartmen Attackers (Strikers and Wingers): Dzenan Zajmovic, Asenale Velebayi and Elias Makwana Chiefs urgently need reinforcements in goal. This is because Fiacre Ntwari is set to be released. Meanwhile, Brandon Petersen and Bruce Bvuma continue to be rotated by Nasreddine Nabi with neither man showing consistancy in goal. Hence, the pressing need to sign a quality goalkeeper. Nigerian goalkeeper, Nwabali has been linked with Chiefs for several seasons now. However, Chippa United are now open to letting him go with Amakhosi interested in signing him. In defence, Amakhosi have brought in Nkanyiso Shinga, Paseka Mako and Thabiso Monyane. Meanwhile, they signed Inacio Miguel and Rushwin Dortley at the start of last season. So, they are quite well covered at the back although they are still linked to Stellenbosch and Bafana Bafna FC right back, Basadien. Njabulo Blom (defender and defensive midfielder), Sabelo Radebe, Mduduzi Mdantsane and Yusuf Maart have all left Chiefs. Meanwhile, they have signed Ethan Ndlovu and Siphesihle Ndlovu. So, that's four midfield departures and two midfield signings and they're far from done with changes in the midfield. Mayambela and Rhodes are heavily linked with moves to Chiefs. In fact, Amakhosi were close to securing a deal for Mayambela before they raised his price. So, they are willing to wait until January when he is free or for Aris Limassol to lower their asking price. 'Chiefs are not just sitting back and relaxing by waiting for January or the end of the season. It's believed the negotiations are ongoing and it will depend on how low Aris Limassol can go in terms of the amount. Chiefs are believed to want to have him as early as they can. But if that doesn't happen, then they will wait for his free agency status from January until the end of the season,' the insider revealed on SNL . Meanwhile, Baartmen (Cape Town Spurs) has reportedly agreed to join Chiefs. In five matches on tour, Chiefs scored two goals. One was a stunner from Reeve Frosler. Whilst, one goal was scored by youngster Naledi Hlongwane. Meaning, in five matches – 450 minutes (seven and a half hours of football), Amakhosi's attackers managed just one goal. Flavio Silva has been underwhelming. Whilst, Wandile Duba needs an experienced attacker to guide him. As things stand, Chiefs could sign Zajmovic for free. Meanwhile, they are yet again linked with Mokwana and Velebayi. Interestingly, reports claim Velebayi has already agreed to join Chiefs.

Kaizer Chiefs news: Lost relationship and new midfielder
It's fair to say Kaizer Chiefs have lost a reliable recruitment relationship following the abrupt sale of SuperSport United to the newly formed Siwelele FC. The now-defunct SuperSport United had become a trusted talent pipeline for Kaizer Chiefs, supplying three signings in just two years. While it was a free transfer, the relationship came to life in 2023 with the arrival of Botswana international Thatayaone Ditlhokwe, who joined Amakhosi that year. The centre-back quickly established himself as a mainstay in Amakhosi's defence before he was sold to Al-Ittihad in Libya last term. Orlando Pirates respond to R120m Mofokeng news In January 2025, the two clubs agreed on the sale of striker Tashreeq Morris, who signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with the Soweto giants. Known for his physical style and attacking instincts, Morris was brought in to add experience and presence to the frontline… Full story here. R20 million paid into Kaizer Chiefs bank account? Former Kaizer Chiefs midfield ace, Willard Katsande, believes the Betway Premiership giants have signed a gem of a midfielder in Siphesihle Ndlovu. Kaizer Chiefs bolstered their squad ahead of the 2025/26 season, adding Ethan Chislett, Flavio Silva, Thabiso Monyane, Paseka Mako, Nkanyiso Shinga, and, notably, Siphesihle Ndlovu, signed from the now-defunct SuperSport United. According to Katsande, Ndlovu is the standout deal. As a former captain and midfield enforcer at Amakhosi, Katsande's opinion carries weight. His endorsement of Ndlovu speaks volumes about the club's recent activities in the transfer market. Siphesihle Ndlovu in the colours of SuperSport United against Kaizer Chiefs at the FNB Stadium.

Sweden flying under Euros radar ahead of England clash, says Asllani
Kosovare Asllani said Wednesday that Sweden should be getting more attention for their performances at the Women's Euro 2025 as the Scandinavians prepare for a blockbuster quarter-final against England. Spain, France and England have dominated headlines in Switzerland but Sweden swept into the last eight with three powerful displays, including a thumping of Germany, on their way to winning Group C with a perfect nine points. "I feel like Sweden are always flying under the radar, I would say," attacking midfielder Asllani told reporters. "And it is something that kind of suits us because obviously we think that we are one of the best teams in the world due to the results we have been doing the last few years from the tournaments. But people rarely speak about us as someone that can win the gold. "We know we can beat any team in the world when we have our best day. We don't think about it too much but I think people should talk about us more." Unbeaten in a year, Sweden take on England, who finished second in Group D, in Zurich on Thursday with memories still fresh of a 4-0 defeat to the Lionesses at the last Euros three years ago. But Asllani said that she and her teammates are focussing on two recent draws with the reigning European champions as they hunt a first major honour since winning the first official Euros way back in 1984. "We have incredible belief in one another and the entire team. We do play very intense and physical football and since (coach) Peter (Gerhardsson) took over that has developed," added Asllani. "We have developed enormously over last few years. We have players at major clubs, and then you came here and you mesh it all together. We are a very hungry team and want success." She said she believed the tournament begins in earnest with the quarter-finals. "It feels like a tournament really gets going when the group stage is over," said Asllani. "We have experience of these kinds of matches, and the fun sort of starts now... when you test your mettle against the best teams." Lucy Bronze, who plays her club football at Chelsea with Sweden's Johanna Rytting Kaneryd and Nathalie Bjorn, said that England were also relishing the chance to play in the knockout stage. "I think it's the kind of game that both teams want. Any top player in the world wants to be playing in the big games," said Bronze. "For me it's probably the most exciting quarter-final because the teams are so full of confidence and quality. "These are exciting times. All the girls today in training are really up for the game tomorrow. Really excited for what tomorrow is going to bring."
