Orlando Pirates’ former defender Edwin Gyimah has become another journeyman in the Premier Soccer League.
EDWIN GYIMAH TO MAGESI FC?
The 33-year-old Ghanaian’s career in Mzansi started at SuperSport United, before a long series of moves to Mpumalanga Black Aces, Orlando Pirates, Bidvest Wits, Black Leopards, and Sekhukhune United.
According to FARPost, Gyimah is set to sign a deal with Magesi FC. “FARPosthas established that Gyimah spent a few days training with Magesi FC last week. Indications are that the negotiations between the player and the club were at an advanced stage.”
TSHEPANG MOREMI TO ORLANDO PIRATES?
Orlando Pirates are reportedly keen on signing a new speedy winger with tricks and skills.
According to Soccer Laduma, Orlando Pirates have taken the lead to sign Moremi after the 24-year-old’s two goals and two assists in 18 games so far this season. “As things stand now, we can say Pirates are in the forefront compared to Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs,” the source told the outlet. “They have inquired about his services and things could work out at the end of the season. It will all depend on talks and negotiations whenever they start as it’s still early to say much at the moment.
An additional insider said: “As I have said, it will all depend on the talks and negotiations but it could involve money and player exchange as well. The value of the player and what AmaZulu want from Pirates could also determine the whole deal at the end of the day.”
MARSHALL MUNETSI JOINS WOLVES
Staying with Orlando Pirates, former midfielder Munetsi has left France’s Stade Reims to join Wolverhampton Wanderers in the English Premiership. The 28-year-old makes the move after an impressive four goals and two assists in 19 games.
“I’m delighted. It’s a dream come true for me,” Munetsi told the club’s media. “I’ve always wanted to be part of something big, and being part of Wolves is something that is very big for me, and is big for my family. It’s a team that I’ve also seen from afar, and the Premier League is the best place to be, so I’m delighted to join the family, to join the team.
“I’m very excited. It’s probably going to be the first time I’ve had a big opportunity to be representing a bigger club. Nothing against Reims, but now you’re going to be playing in the Premier League, playing for Wolves. Also, we have a greater population in England than in Zimbabwe; I think I will feel even more at home than what I was doing in France.
“The first time I got there, I didn’t think I would stay for that long, but considering what I went through with the club, I really enjoyed my time there, and I think now it’s probably the best time, because I’ve gained so much experience.
“Being in the French league is also very tough, probably not as much as the Premier League, but I think it’s also quite competitive with the clubs that we have. So, I think those games will come in handy once I make this move,” the former Orlando Pirates footballer added.
