The 2021/22 season is underway and the Premier Soccer League’s big three Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns are starting to see some glaring shortcomings in their squads.
Despite being active during the last transfer period, they might feel they need more to strengthen their squads before the January mid-season window.

Five free agents who could still sign for Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates or Mamelodi Sundowns

Following the closure of the PSL transfer window on August 31, a number of players could not find new clubs and are still free to join a team of their choice at any time.
Some clubless players could still make meaningful contributions if signed by the PSL’s big three.

If Chiefs, Pirates and Sundowns feel they did not do enough business during the previous transfer period, they could turn to these unattached players.&nbsp;

From a number of players currently with no club, Goal picks just five who could still have it in them to handle the pressure of playing for the traditional giants.&nbsp;

Turning to the open market 

The South Africa Under-23 international midfielder is clubless after leaving Portuguese second-tier side Cova Piedade.
It is quite a surprise why the 24-year-old is unattached after enjoying some regular football in Portugal last season where he made 29 Segunda Liga appearances, scoring three goals.

He also started all of the South Africa Under-23 games at the Tokyo Olympic Games in July and was one of the team’s best performers.

This is a player who can feature in&nbsp;the midfield of Chiefs, Pirates or Sundowns.

He has been <a href="https://www.idiskitimes.co.za/local/chiefs-target-keen-on-move/" target="_blank">strongly linked </a>with Chiefs recently.

Thabo Cele

The 32-year-old Zimbabwe international scored seven goals for Black Leopards across all competitions last season.&nbsp;
Those goals were in the PSL against Sundowns and a brace against his former club Chiefs last December.

With his experience having played in Ligue 1 and the Belgian top-flight,&nbsp; this is a player who Pirates might need for creativity.

Ovidy Karuru

He is an experienced midfielder who was surprisingly was turned away by Swallows FC following a trial stint during pre-season.
Following his failure to return to his American second-tier club Colorado Springs Switchbacks due to Covid-19 travel restrictions in March, Lebese has since been clubless.

After attempts to join Swallows drew blanks, this is a player who can become an important figure at Pirates, having previously turned out for Chiefs and Sundowns.&nbsp;&nbsp;

George Lebese

He was offloaded by SuperSport after the end of last season and the Zimbabwean striker is a frustrated figure.
That was after failing to maintain the form which saw Matsatsantsa sign him from Maritzburg United.

But judging from his capabilities, Rusike is not a lost player who would fail to reproduce some good football at the traditional giants.&nbsp;

Evans Rusike

Currently in the middle of an attacking crisis, AmaZulu coach Benni McCarthy might be regretting not signing the Zambian forward who trained with Usuthu during pre-season.
McCarthy opted against signing Shonga due to the player's low fitness levels but this was something that could still be worked on since the season has&nbsp;just started.

He was released by Cape Town City and is club-hunting, having previously played for Pirates and Marumo Gallants (then Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila).&nbsp;

At 24, age is still on Shonga’s side.&nbsp;He has international experience playing for Zambia and can still be good even for his former club Pirates and Chiefs.&nbsp;
