'Deliver immediately': Kaizer Chiefs legend warns Silva
Former Kaizer Chiefs striker Collins Mbesuma has given his thoughts on Amakhosi new forward Flavio Silva. The 29-year-old joined Chiefs in July and went to the Netherlands last month with the club for their pre-season tour. Despite firing blanks in Europe, Silva showed a glimpse of brilliance in the Toyota Cup against Asanta Kotoko two weeks ago. Mbesuma feels the Kaizer Chiefs new man needs a bit of work to improve and get the goals for his new club. 'As a team, Kaizer Chiefs – especially the players playing up front – have a lot to improve on,' the former Zambian international told KickOff . 'At a club like Chiefs, there is always pressure on the players. Fans come to the stadium to see goals, and the expectation is high. There's always pressure because the culture of the team is to win trophies. This pressure will remain until the team starts winning trophies consistently.' 'So, any new player must deliver immediately.' 'The new striker has shown some good moments, but I want to see him make more runs into the box and spend more time there. He needs to be more forceful inside the box. 'During the match at Moses Mabhida, there were moments when he was making runs away from the box and towards the wings,' Mbesuma said.

PSL transfer news: Mbesuma, Mbule, Mofokeng, Moremi, Rulani
Premier Soccer League (PSL) clubs are preparing for the transfer window to open in the coming weeks. The Betway Premiership might have ended but expect more player movement from now until mid-September. While champions Mamelodi Sundowns are preparing for the FIFA Club World Cup, Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates will look to capitalise and bring in top players to challenge for top honours. Last year, Amakhosi was the busiest PSL team in the transfer window, bringing in seven players before adding three more in the January period. Under Nasreddine Nabi, the Soweto giants won the Nedbank Cup but failed to improve in the league. Collins Mbesuma, who played for Amakhosi in the mid-2000s, has offered his services to his former club. 'A PSL club? Of course, Khosi for Life. At my peak, I could be solving their current goal-scoring crisis. I'm a striker's coach, you know, so I'm available to help any team,' Mbesuma told KickOff . The midfielder was been linked with Amakhosi for several weeks, having reportedly parted ways with Mamelodi Sundowns. His agent, Mike Makaab revealed he offered the ex-Richards Bay midfielder to Amakhosi 'Let me set the record straight. Sipho Mbule has been offered to Kaizer Chiefs,' the agent admitted on X. 'It is up to the club to make the decision and we need to respect that decision.' Another player on the move is AmaZulu winger Tshepang Moremi. According to Soccer Laduma , the Buccaneers had secured a three-year deal with the KwaZulu-Natal-based talent. 'We can say that this Orlando Pirates and Moremi deal is as good as done,' an insider told Soccer Laduma . Yes, it's believed that Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs were also interested in him, but Pirates have won this race. It's as good as done at the moment,' the insider added. Another coach who could rejoin Orlando Pirates is Rulani Mokwena. With Jose Riveiro with Al Ahly, Mokwena is amongst the favourites to take over from the Spaniard. The 37-year-old has a short, unsuccessful stint with Tunisian giants Wydad Casablanca. Orlando Pirates will be the PSL team to watch this transfer period, having already released several players. One top player set to leave for Europe is Relebohile Mofokeng.
