Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates both want Thabang Matuludi – the problem? Only one team can have him.
The Polokwane right-back has been granted South African soccer’s ultimate compliment: both Soweto Giants are after his services.
And it seems he’s leaning towards black.
What we know
According to SoccerLaduma, Orlando Pirates are leading the race to sign the PSL sensation, saying, “Yes, that’s true,
“Pirates need to strengthen their squad because there are many games that they need to play this season and with injuries and suspensions they need new players in the team and Thabang [Matuludi] is one of them. They have been pushing for this move even before they signed Deano Van Rooyen from Stellenbosch FC and now they are revisiting that interest as the January transfer window period is approaching.”
A second Siya source added, “The talks are believed to be going on and there could be players involved plus of course money to push for the move to happen. As things stand at the moment, Pirates stand a better chance of signing Matuludi compared to the other clubs which have also shown interest in the defender. The chances are very high for Pirates to sign him.”
