Orlando Pirates supporters are expected to read exciting announcements this week, and it’s the same for Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns followers.
ORLANDO PIRATES LINKED WITH THREE PLAYERS
According to recent reports across local media, the Buccaneers are linked to Oswin Appollis, Thabang Matuludi, and Yanela Mbuthuma.
APPOLLIS AND MATULUDI
According to Tiyani Mabasa’s reputable Unplayable, the Buccaneers are set to conclude deals with Polokwane City for Appollis and Matuludi. “Orlando Pirates are close to signing Oswin Appollis and Thabang Matuludi from Polokwane City. #UNPLAYABLE can reveal that the deal could be concluded before the end of this week,” the report said a fortnight ago. Appollis, 23, will arrive as cover in the wing or left wing after the exit of Katlego Otladisa last week. His teammate Matuludi, 25, will replace Bandile Shandu at right-back, who is expected to depart soon.
MBUTHUMA
The Buccaneers seem sorted upfront with Evidence Makgopa and Tshsegofatso Mabasa, but two strikers are not enough for an ambitious CAF Champions League club like Pirates. According to Soccer Laduma, Richards Bay’s 22-year-old striker Mbuthuma is a new target. “The team is believed to be looking at Mbuthuma from Richards Bay with the aim of strengthening their strikeforce. For now, the outright striker who is playing most of the games is Evidence Makgopa while Tshegofatso Mabasa is mainly on the bench while Zakhele Lepasa and Boitumelo Radiopan are mostly on the sidelines. So, now they have inquired about Mbuthuma from Richards Bay and they are looking at a possible move in the January window,” the source stated.
