Kaizer Chiefs fans have expressed their confidence in winning the Soweto derby following the announcement of three new signings by the club on Monday.
Chiefs confirmed the arrival of striker Tashreeq Morris, signed from SuperSport United in a swap deal involving Christian Saile, South African midfielder Thabo Cele, who was available as a free agent after leaving Russian side Fakel Voronezh, as well as Congolese winger Glody Makabi Lilepo, signed from French club Valenciennes FC.
With the news coming ahead of the Soweto derby set to take place at the Orlando Stadium on Saturday February 1, Chiefs supporters believe it is a massive boost for coach Nasreddine Nabi and now gives them the best chance of beating arch rivals Orlando Pirates.
Afrik-Foot has sampled some of their comments regarding what they expect from the new arrivals.
