Zakhele Lepasa’s future at Orlando Pirates is back in the spotlight after fresh rumours surfaced over his potential exit at the club.
Lepasa missed the start of the season through injury however the latest reports suggests he’s back to full fitness.
The talented striker has been linked with an exit from the Buccaneers due to limited playing opportunities for some time now.
And now, reports suggest the club are looking at loaning him out in January while a permanent move at the end of the season remains a possibility!
Update on Lepasa’s future at Orlando Pirates
“It’s true these clubs that were interested in him haven’t really stopped inquiring about him,” an insider at Orlando Pirates told Soccer Laduma.
“I think what was holding the whole thing back was his injury and now that he is fully recovered and Pirates want to give him a chance to play, as well the team’s interest in him, then he will also be looking at the next transfer window period which is in January.
“So, there is a possibility that the loan deal could happen in January – that I can tell you. Then at the end of the season they would look at a permanent move if all the parties are happy with the arrangements involving a permanent deal.”
Is letting go of Lepasa a good decision by Pirates?
