There’s plenty of transfer action blossoming in the PSL, spearheaded by Orlando Pirates, Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs.

The PSL big three have wasted no time in their pursuit of top talent, with each club linked to some serious firepower, such as AmaZulu star Tshepang Moremi.

Rumours from South Africa

Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs are in the race for SuperSport left-back Neo Rapoo.
Midfielder Samkelo Zwane is reportedly exploring options after recording just thirteen appearances (across all competitions) this season. Insiders believe the 23-year-old is eyeing a loan move rather than a permanent exit.
One of PSL’s greatest mysteries remains what the future holds for Monnapule Saleng, who is yet to attract any substantial interest but looks certain to depart the Buccaneers.
AmaKhosi are said to be in advanced talks with long-term target Oswin Appollis, a player they’ve wanted since last offseason.
Mamelodi Sundowns have offered three-times PSL winner Peter Shalulile a contract extension. A decision from the player has yet to be made.

What’s happening with Rapoo?

Rapoo is fast becoming one of the PSL’s brightest prospects, and such a tag usually (and has on this occasion) ignites interest from one of South Africa’s biggest clubs – this time, he has both the Sowetan giants after his services.

“Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs are both keen to sign SuperSport United left-back Neo Rapoo ahead of the new season,” an inside source revealed.

“His performances as he led South Africa U20 to the Africa Cup of Nations title earned him interest in Scandinavia and the Gulf but sources as Matsatsansa have confirmed Chiefs and Pirates are both seriously after the player who is seen as future senior national team left-back.”

“With Orlando Pirates having released Paseka Mako and the retirement of Innocent Maela, their interest on the promising full-back comes as no surprise, while Chiefs are looking to remedy a position that has plagued them in the last couple of seasons.”
