Orlando Pirates are expected to make full use of the upcoming transfer window – and Kaizer Chiefs will be in the mix.
YANELA MBUTHUMA TO ORLANDO PIRATES?
The Buccaneers are sorted upfront with Evidence Makgopa and Tshsegofatso Mabasa, but two strikers are not enough for an ambitious CAF Champions League club like Pirates. According to Soccer Laduma, Richards Bay’s 22-year-old striker Mbuthuma is a new target.
“The team is believed to be looking at Mbuthuma from Richards Bay with the aim of strengthening their strikeforce. For now, the outright striker who is playing most of the games is Evidence Makgopa while Tshegofatso Mabasa is mainly on the bench while Zakhele Lepasa and Boitumelo Radiopan are mostly on the sidelines. So, now they have inquired about Mbuthuma from Richards Bay and they are looking at a possible move in the January window,” the source stated.
“You know it’s an almost known factor that Lepasa could leave the club whether on loan or permanently. And there is the issue of Radiopane as well. So the team is set to loan out one or both to make space for a new striker and they have inquired about Yanell Mbuthuma from Richards Bay who they are interested in,” the second source stated.
