Kitchee unveiled three new signings and signalled a fourth one could be on the way as they started preseason on Tuesday in preparation for the upcoming AFC Champions League knockout stage and new domestic season.

Midfielder Mikael Severo and defender Eduardo Praes have joined from Eastern Long Lions, while Jordon Brown arrives from Resources Captial.

The Long Lions pair will be part of a two-week training camp before their new side heads off to South Korea for further preparation ahead of their Champions League round-of-16 match in Japan next month.

Brown, meanwhile, has yet to start after returning to Britain for personal reasons.

Former Hong Kong Footballer of the year, Fernando Pedreira, who was earlier released by Eastern, is on trial with the club he spent five seasons with before moving to their Premier League rivals.

Alex Chu Chi-kwong, the Kitchee head coach, refused to be drawn on whether the loss of eight players in the off season, including Hong Kong internationals Sean Tse Ka-keung and Philip Chan Siu-kwan, has weakened his side.
