Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs often chase the same transfer targets. Who will have the last laugh in the Mayele chase?
Orlando Pirates’ interest in Mayele is concrete
“There has been contact [between Pirates and Mayele], and although nothing is concrete at this stage, there is a possibility,” an inside source revealed.
“Mayele’s camp is testing the waters and trying to see if Pirates are willing to make a concrete move to the PSL.”
“Given the current situation, both in terms of Pirates’ need for a proven striker and Mayele’s availability, this could be a very real transfer possibility.”
“It’s no secret that Pirates are in the market for a reliable goal-scorer, and after what Mayele did to them on the continental stage, it’s clear he could be that guy.”
When is Sekhukhune vs Kaizer Chiefs?
Amakhosi’s MTN8 dreams are still in their own hands, but they need to win both of their remaining league matches to guarantee a top-eight berth. They face two tough fixtures; first away to Sekhukhune and then at home against Polokwane. Sekhukhune vs Chiefs kicks off at 15:00 on Saturday, 17 May. Amakhosi host Polokwane on Saturday, 24 May, with kickoff also at 15:00.
Sithole to Chiefs?
26-year-old Sphephelo Sithole, affectionately known as ‘Yaya’, could be keen on a return to South Africa. He’s only made two league appearances for Gil Vicente this term, and there are rumours that current Chiefs players are already trying to tempt him over.
Will Chiefs make the top 8?
