Orlando Pirates to beat Kaizer Chiefs for talented PSL winger
Orlando Pirates are in pole position to secure the services of AmaZulu winger Tshepang Moremi.
The 24-year-old talented forward was also in the books of Soweto rivals Kaizer Chiefs. This week, Soccer Laduma reported that the Buccaneers had secure a three year deal with the KwaZulu-Natal based talent.
With Pirates likely to lose Relebohile Mofokeng in the next transfer period, it makes sense for the Sea Robbers to look for a replacement.
'We can say that this Orlando Pirates and Moremi deal is as good as done,' an insider told Soccer Laduma . Yes, it's believed that Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs were also interested in him but Pirates have apparently won this race. It's as good as done at the moment,' the insider added.
The second source told the publication that the winger has penned a three-year deal with Orlando Pirates.
'Apparently it's a three-year contract. All the involved parties have agreed to a three-year contract. It's believed that all the personal terms between the player and the team have also been agreed. That's why Moremi's Pirates move is as good as done.'
Another winger set to part ways with Orlando Pirates is Monnapule Saleng. The 27-year-old attacker hasn't kicked a ball for the Buccaneers since December.

Pirates news: R15 million, free agent opportunity, captain saga
Orlando Pirates are on the verge of adding several stars to their already talented squad, boasting playmakers from Relebohile Mofokeng to Patrick Maswanganyi. According to reports, the Soweto giants will need to pay R15 million for teenage target Prince Ndlovu. 'Highlanders FC value Prince (Ndlovu) and that's why they are pricing him at around R15million,' a source revealed. 'For now this price is believed to be directed at South African team Orlando Pirates because apparently they are the ones who have enquired about his services. Highlanders believe it's a fair price looking at his talent, quality and future ahead of him.' Meanwhile, Orlando Pirates are left without a captain following the release of Innocent Maela – highly-rated defender Nkosinathi Sibisi is among the favourites to get the armband. AmaZulu playmaker Rowan Human has informed his club that he will not be signing a contract extension, making him a free agent in the offseason window and opening the door for Pirates, who were reportedly interested in the 24-year-old back in January. 'AmaZulu FC midfielder Rowan Human has been offered to Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs by his representatives as he is set to leave the club on a free transfer. Human will leave Usuthu at the end of June after his contract expires after the 24-year-old failed to reach an agreement with the club on a new contract,' a source revealed. 'Human has been offered to both Soweto giants by his representatives and it could only be a matter of time before he gets snapped up as he will be a free agent and rediscovered his old form.'

Orlando Pirates target nets for Bafana Bafana
Orlando Pirates target Sinoxolo Kwayiba was on target as Bafana Bafana defeated Mozambique in an international friendly match in Polokwane on Tuesday evening. Kwayiba and Ashley Cupido scored two goals in the second half to hand Hugo Broos' men another convincing win. Bafana will now focus on the FIFA World Cup qualifiers, which resume in September. After the 2-0 win against Mozambique, Kwaniba was named Man of the Match. During his Man of the Match interview, the Bafana Bafana forward was asked about his potential move to Orlando Pirates. 'I'm happy for the performance of today, but I want to do more. Let's hope it's gonna happen,' he told SABC Sport . 'I'm hoping to play for a big team and then after going to play overseas – that's my dream and it's gonna happen. 'A team of the big-three, I won't mention any names. I won't mention anyone but I want to play for the one of three.' Kwayiba said. According to iDiski Times , the Chippa United striker scored six times last season, but it looks more likely that he will play in black and white. Orlando Pirates already have two Bafana strikers, Evidence Makgopa and Tshegofatso Mabasa.
