It sounds like Orlando Pirates mean business next season, especially in central defence.
ORLANDO PIRATES TO SIGN STELLENBOSCH FC DEFENDERS?
According to Soccer Laduma, the Sea Robbers are looking at Thabo Moloisane (26) and Olivier Toure (27). “As far as defenders are concerned, Pirates’ main target is Thabo (Moloisane), and that’s why they are set to table an offer for him,” a source told the outlet. “They are looking at strengthening the central defence as they are looking at having a strong backline next season where they will compete in almost all the competitions, including the CAF Champions League. Moloisane has grown as a player. He i playing in Africa with Stellenbosch and Pirates are looking at that as an advantage to sign him. You know the club is also looking at right back and left back,” the source concluded.
On Toure, the source said: ”He [Toure] is still on the club’s (Pirates’) radar, and it’s just a matter of when the club will be taking the interest forward by making a formal offer,” a source said to the publication. “If you look around the league, you will notice that he is one of the reliable and consistent defenders, and his performances haven’t gone unnoticed as interest in his services is growing,” he concluded.
