Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs receive a massive boost in transfers!
It is believed that, this time around it will be no different between the two Soweto giants. This, of course, will inevitably see them clash for certain targets. According to reports they’re already clashing for Stanley Nwabali, Oswin Appollis, Elias Mokwana, Riaan Hanamub and Shaune Mogaila. That does not seem to be where the list ends, however, with a new name set to be part of the tug-of-war.
In fact, just three weeks ago this publication reported that Chiefs had joined Pirates in the race for Freddy Kouablan. Last month, both were thought to be in the race for Chippa United star Baraka Majagoro. TS Galaxy’s Thato Khiba has also since entered the list. That just proves that both clubs are looking to strengthen their forward lines ahead of next season. Now the latest name to be discussed by both clubs suggests their defensive lines are also a targeted area for improvement.
One of those players on that list that both Chiefs and Pirates seemed to have an outside chance with is Nwabali. This was because of the exorbitant R30 million price tag Chippa United have slapped on him. It is thought the other stumbling block are the options abroad.
Now according to KickOff.com one of those teams from abroad, Al Ettifaq has pulled out. This could serve as a big boost for Chiefs and Pirates.
