Titus to replace Saleng at Orlando Pirates?
Stellenbosch’s 24-year-old winger Devin Titus could be a like-for-like replacement for Saleng as he enjoys hugging the right touchline. He’s not an inverted winger like Saleng, but since right-footer Relebohile Mofokeng already dazzles down the left, this isn’t much of an issue. Titus has impressed this campaign for Stellies, bagging six goals and four assists in 21 league appearances. Those are quality numbers at this level.
Caf Champions League final eight clash soon
