Kaizer Chiefs coach Ernst Middendorp believes that his side do not need to make any changes to his team in the January transfer market because they have done a fantastic job already.

The Glamour Boys have enjoyed a terrific first part of the season as they shot to the top of the Absa Premiership and now sit seven points clear of their nearest rivals Mamelodi Sundowns.

With the transfer window opening at the start of the New Year many clubs will be brining in new players for a big push until the end of the season.

Middendorp though believes that there is no reason for his side to run around and make any signings because the players they have at the club have already done a fantastic job.

‘We have a seven-point lead (at the top of the PSL table),’ Middendorp told the media.

‘We have a team that has done well in these five-and-a-half months or six months of the season. They have done a fantastic job and why should we now be targeting changes?

‘Some players didn’t perform as we were expecting as we have seen it in the season and the next point is, let’s be honest, where are the players?

‘Here in Maritzburg on the Ayrshire street or on William Nicol streets? Where are the players really?

‘Let’s be honest, we’ve done some planning, and everybody has organised themselves and put a team together. There’s no need to run around.’
