Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi's influence during his first transfer window at the club will come with consequences for the club's foreign quota following the latest developments.
From the month that he has spent at Chiefs, Nabi has already identified his areas of concern, with central defence and striker his priorities in strengthening the spine of his team.

This comes after the addition of Rwandan goalkeeper Fiacre Ntwari as the other part of the key positions for Nabi, whose teams are always organised.
With Angolan defender Inacio Miguel becoming the next arrival at Naturena, this will create issues for the club in juggling the order of their foreign pecking with only five eligible to be registered as non-South Africans.
Having played in Portugal, Romania, Latvia and Angola, Miguel (28) will add the bite that Nabi prefers at the back.
Miguel will join Ntwari (Rwanda), Thatayaone Ditlhokwe (Botswana), Edmilson Dove (Mozambique), Edson Castillo (Venezuela) and Christian Saile Basomboli (DR Congo) as the six foreign players at Amakhosi.
This means a mini shake-up is expected for the foreign contingent, especially with another signing still expected from outside the borders.
Ntwari, Castillo and Miguel will have their places just about secured but not so for the rest.
Ditlhokwe will become eligible for permanent residence with effect from January, by which time he will have spent five years in South Africa.
Dove's case is hanging due to injury and the case of eligibility in applying for his PR.

He spent almost five years at Cape Town City, before briefly going home to UD Songo, upon which he was snapped by Chiefs two years ago.
Saile is walking in the dark, while Gaston Sirino will play as a non-foreigner after acquiring his permanent residence.
