Mamelodi Sundowns are favourites to claim their eighth successive PSL title but will need to tread lightly with Orlando Pirates not far behind.

The Soweto giants, nine points back with two games in hand, can close the gap to three if they take advantage of their extra fixtures. A slip-up from the Tshwane giants could be enough to end to open the door for the Buccaneers.

Europe comes calling

Sundowns star Teboho Mokoena is reportedly garnering interest from an unnamed club in France. Insiders say multiple foreign suitors are monitoring the three-time PSL winner.

Lucas Ribeiro Costa is another Brazilian attracting eyes overseas. The Brazilian is the frontrunner for PSL Player of the Year.

Kaizer Chiefs’ long-term target Fiston Mayele has been offered a two-year extension from current club Pyramids FC, potentially derailing AmaKhosi’s negotiations with the 30-year-old.

Relebohile Mofokeng is expected to receive several offers in the offseason. Orlando Pirates will struggle to keep their man.
