Surprisingly, the Orlando Pirates have little to talk about when it comes to summer signings; Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs could chat all night.
Like Oswin Appollis, there’s a little update regarding the transfer of Stellenbosch defender Fawaaz Basadien. Both are likely to remain at their respective clubs until the season concludes.
The Buccaneers, who are presumably losing patience with the Bafana star, have diverted their attention to Sekhukhune United left-back Vuyo Letlapa.
It’s the 22-year-old’s professional season debut, and he’s grabbed the opportunity with both hands, assisting twice in ten matches, showcasing that he can do it on both ends of the pitch.
“It’s not surprising that he has attracted interest from these two teams [Pirates and Sundowns],” reported SoccerLaduma.
“He is hard working, dedicated and resilient in what he does. You know they signed him from Jomo Cosmos in the ABC Motsepe League, and he has proven how good he is in a short space of time. No matter which team he ends up signing for, he will do a great job. He is a good player.”
Drama unravelling before the Soweto Derby?
Bafana phenom Relehobile Mofokeng is a yellow card away from a suspension, meaning he will have to watch himself in tomorrow’s game against Richards Bay FC unless Jose Riveiro decides to keep him out of the action.
On the other side of Soweto, Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi will return after serving a two-match suspension following his defeat to Golden Arrows on January 12.
Assistant coach Khalil Ben Youssef will take charge against Free Agents in the Nedbank Cup.
Should Orlando Pirates stop pursuing Basadien?
