Despite talk from Sporting Director Kaizer Motaung Jr that Kaizer Chiefs are not done in the transfer market yet, head coach Molefi Ntseki has thrown cold water on the suggestions, with fans hoping that there will be an urgent movement to bring in new players. 

The Amakhosi coach has noted that he has to do a squad audit first before they can even say which department needs reinforcement right now.

Ntseki spoke ahead of Kaizer Chiefs' Carling Knockout encounter against AmaZulu FC which will take place at FNB Stadium on Saturday evening.

The former Bafana Bafana mentor seems happy with the squad he has built so far, but will keep looking at which areas need strengthening as the season progresses.

"We first have to do our squad audit. For now we can't be talking about what will happen in the future. For now we are happy with what we have," Ntseki told the media.

"The most important thing now is to refocus and look forward to the positives. It's a bit of a challenge but we have the players who are ready to work for the team and bring the results," Ntseki added.

Otherwise, Ntseki added that the FIFA break came at a time when they would have wanted to continue playing after losing 1-0 to Cape Town City recently.

"Yeah, we can't change the fixtures. We cannot change the schedule. We can't change the league. We have to deal with it like that," said Ntseki.

"And I think after losing to Cape Town City we were all disappointed because that's one game we all wanted to win. That's in the past. What is important is focusing on the Carling Knockout and the next fixture against Golden Arrows towards the end of the month.

"You know we had five players with different national teams and now we have to check how they are when they come back and see how we can work with them in the next game. But we are looking forward to positives as always," Ntseki concluded.
