ORLANDO PIRATES TO SIGN STELLENBOSCH FC DEFENDER?
According to Soccer Laduma, Stellies’ 26-year-old central defender Thabo Moloisane has earned the admiration of the Buccaneers’ scouts. “As far as defenders are concerned, Pirates’ main target is Thabo (Moloisane), and that’s why they are set to table an offer for him,” a source told the outlet. “They are looking at strengthening the central defence as they are looking at having a strong backline next season where they will compete in almost all the competitions, including the CAF Champions League. Moloisane has grown as a player. He i playing in Africa with Stellenbosch and Pirates are looking at that as an advantage to sign him. You know the club is also looking at right back and left back,” the source concluded.
JOSE RIVEIRO TO REPLACE SIPHO CHAINE
Soweto Giants and Orlando Pirates have another chance to put some pressure on Betway Premiership leaders Mamelodi Sundowns but without a key player.
With the Sea Robbers set to visit the Chilli Boyz at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on Wednesday evening at 19:30, the Premier Soccer League has confirmed that Orlando Pirates’ goalkeeper, Chaine, earned a fourth yellow card against Marumo Gallants in Bloemfontein last Saturday. This means that the former Chippa goalie will serve the suspension against his former side.
Jose Riveiro is expected to field Melusi Buthelezi between the poles.
