Top striker not heading to Chiefs or Pirates, but signing with rivals!
A striker that was linked with all of Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns will now be joining rivals instead.

Itβs then no surprise that both clubs find themselves finding in the same market for attackers both local and beyond. The likes of Iqraam Rayners, Oswin Appollis, Ashley Cupido and Andy Boyeli. Pirates were believed to be fighting with Mamelodi Sundowns, initially bring Boyeli to South African shores. Furthermore, Chiefs emerged out of nowhere, with reports from outside the country reporting the deal was as good as done.
