Orlando Pirates’ winter wish list is growing by the day. Here are nine new names linked with the Sea Robbers.
Rumoured Orlando Pirates transfer wish list
According to Soccer Laduma, Orlando Pirates have a hefty transfer short list containing a few surprise names. That publication includes Thabo Moloisane and Fawaaz Basadien from Stellenbosch FC, Vuyo Letlapa from Sekhukhune United, Oswin Appollis and Thabang Matuludi from Polokwane City, as well as AmaZulu’s Tshepang Moremi, Sinoxolo Kwayiba from Chippa United and Richards Bay FC’s Yanela Mbuthuma. The latest name is Marumo Gallants forward Junior Zindoga.
Pirates zero in on Zindoga
According to Soccer Laduma, Orlando Pirates want to sign 26-year-old Zimbabwean striker Junior Zindoga from Marumo Gallants. The burly forward isn’t the most prolific marksman on the planet, but is admired for his impressive physicality and work ethic.
Why Appollis might be a tricky deal to pull off
According to SoccerLaduma, Polokwane City dug their heels in over star winger Oswin Appollis with club chairman Johnny Mogaladi preferring to sell the 23-year-old Bafana man to overseas suitors if at all. Injuries to key duo Tlou Nkwe and Thabang Matuludi strengthened his resolve to keep the player. Polokwane is currently third in the Betway Premiership and chasing an unlikely continental finishing place
A trip to Algeria is on the horizon for Riveiro and Orlando Pirates
Pirates will be quietly confident they can stamp their ticket into the Champions League semi-finals. They face the Algerian side MC Alger over two legs in the quarter-finals. The first leg takes place on Tuesday, 01 April at 21:00 in North Africa. Alger is currently in charge of the Algerian Ligue 1 with a seven-point lead at the summit. That’s after 20 league outings.
