The Orlando Pirates, who had their best chance to win the championship in years, will be hoping to avoid their summer window gaffe, in which they failed to sign a single player.
Bafana winger Oswin Appollis is among the African players connected to the Buccaneers, who are now ranked second in the log.
These are the players I believe the Orlando Pirates will target throughout the offseason.
The Orlando Pirates, who have long admired Cape Town City’s Jaedin Rhodes, reportedly made an attempt to recruit the 21-year-old in January.
With more than seventy top-flight matches under his belt and a wealth of unrealized potential, the former PSL Young Player of the Year is one of South Africa’s most exciting possibilities.
According to SoccerLaduma, “he [Rhodes] has been one of their [Pirates] targets for some time now,” confirming the Sea Robbers’ interest.
Although not much has happened, they have been keeping an eye on him. During the January transfer window, they had him as their objective.
They have more time to work on it now that it didn’t happen, and they’ll see what transpires in the next window. But they want to have him. that I am able to inform you of.
“Obviously, they (Pirates) will either loan some out or release some as well,” a second insider stated. But since it didn’t happen in January, they will work on it during the off-season. That’s when they need to concentrate on their squad. One player already on that list is Rhodes.
Yanele Mbhuthuma of Richards Bay is another PSL player that the Orlando Pirates are interested in.
“Yes, the club [Pirates] is planning to bring in another striker and they have already identified some strikers including [Yanele] Mbhuthuma from Richards Bay, which is why they want to release or loan out Radiopane,” said a second source.Due to the reported departures of players like Patrick Maswanganyi, Relebohile Mofokeng, and Monnapule Saleng, the Orlando Pirates will be searching for top-tier replacements like Oswin Appollis.
