As the January transfer window draws closer to its end, the action in the PSL is heating up, even though the month has seen its fair share of slow movements.
With just nine days left in the window, many clubs are still gearing up for a flurry of activity, hoping to make significant moves before the deadline.
Big Moves from Top Teams
After a quiet start, the transfer window picked up steam with Jayden Adams’ high-profile move to Masandawana, which seemed to trigger a wave of activity across the league.
The arrival of Adams was a game-changer, prompting Kaizer Chiefs to strengthen their squad with some signings of their own.
However, Orlando Pirates have remained notably quiet so far.
Despite the murmurs around the league, the Buccaneers have not made any major moves, leaving many wondering when they’ll take action.
Rumours Circulate Around the League
There’s been plenty of speculation surrounding key players in the PSL.
One player who has been at the centre of attention is Karim Kimvuidi.
The midfielder is reportedly eager to leave the PSL as he aims to secure a starting spot at Orlando Pirates.
With several clubs from across Africa showing interest in him, Orlando Pirates are likely to entertain a loan deal, but that remains to be seen.
In addition to Kimvuidi’s situation, Orlando Pirates are keeping an eye on Richards Bay’s Yanela Mbuthuma.
However, with just days left in the transfer window, landing Mbuthuma in January looks like a long shot, with a deal in the offseason more likely.
On top of that, Moroccan media is reporting that Relehobile Mofokeng is in advanced talks with Wydad Casablanca, adding another layer of intrigue to the ongoing transfer buzz.
Asenele Velebayi Eyes a PSL Comeback
Asenele Velebayi, who is currently with Cape Town Spurs, has made it clear that he intends to return to the PSL.
The 22-year-old forward is being priced at R10 million, and his talent has certainly caught the eye of bigger clubs.
Velebayi has high aspirations, not only for his club career but also for his international ambitions.
“My goal is to break into Bafana Bafana,” he said.
“Seeing players like Dortley and Mofokeng, it feels like we’re all not far off from reaching that level.”
Velebayi admires the success of young players such as former teammate Rushwin Dortley and Mofokeng, seeing them as inspirations for his own career.
Despite his failed move to Kaizer Chiefs in the past, Velebayi’s drive hasn’t wavered.
He’s focused on growing as a player and reaching the level of his peers, both in the national team and at the club level.
“It’s a process, but when bigger teams show interest, we must be able to handle the attention,” he added, emphasizing the importance of staying grounded as his career evolves.
The PSL Continues to Buzz With Transfer Activity
While some players like Velebayi set their sights on bigger leagues, the transfer window’s closing days will likely bring more activity, and teams will continue to make their moves to bolster their squads.
With a mix of young talent and seasoned players on the market, the coming days in the PSL are sure to provide plenty of drama as clubs prepare for the next chapter of the season.
