The Soweto giants signed Ethan Chislett, Flavio Silva and Nkanyiso Shinga during the current transfer window, which opened on 1 July 2025.
On Tuesday, the club revealed that more signatures should be expected in the coming weeks. Amakhosi will fly to the Netherlands in a few days’ time for their pre-season training, where they will play several friendly matches.

“The technical team and management deemed it apt to strengthen the squad in different areas, from attack to defence, to ensure that the team is ready to tackle the challenging PSL season and the CAF Confederation Cup, kicking off in August,” the club said on their website.
Here is the list of new Kaizer Chiefs signings:
Flavio Silva
Amakhosi have secured Portuguese striker Flavio Silva from Persebaya Surabaya in Indonesia. Silva, a prolific goal-scorer, netted nine goals in 33 matches last season and had an impressive 30 goals in 45 appearances for Persik Kediri the season prior. The Guinea Bissau-born player will wear jersey #77.
Ethan Chislett
In midfield, Amakhosi have enlisted 26-year-old Ethan Chislett, an attacking midfielder known for his creative abilities. The Durban-born playmaker joins the club after spending most of his playing career in England, as well as a stint in Spain. He recently enjoyed a successful season with Port Vale, where he provided key assists and created numerous scoring opportunities.

Moving to the backline, Chiefs have reached an agreement with Portuguese club FC Alverce to sign Nkanyiso Shinga. The talented left-back, also originally from Durban, is a versatile operator who can also play in midfield and attack. At 25 years old, Shinga returns to South Africa after seven years in Portugal to make his first appearance in the PSL. He will don jersey #74.
“These first three signings and more that will follow reflect the Club’s commitment to improving the squad depth and overall performance for the 2025/26 season,” Kaizer Chiefs said.
