Amakhosi made four new signings during the off-season, roping in strikers Lazarous Kambole and Samir Nurković as well as the midfield duo of Kearyn Byron Baccus and James Agyekum Kotei.

After impressing for his former side Zesco United against Chiefs in the CAF Confederations Cup last season, Zambian marksman Kambole has given Chiefs fans a food for thought as they have now drafted him into the starting XI for the interactive pre-season curtain-raiser clash against the Buccaneers.

Kambole has already gathered 27 172 votes and is set to spearhead the Glamour Boys attack alongside veteran forward Bernard Parker, who is the most voted Chiefs player with over 75 000 votes.
