Orlando Pirates Look to Strengthen Squad by Targeting Wingers for the Next Season

Orlando Pirates are eyeing potential reinforcements for their squad as they look to improve their attacking options for the next season.

Current Squad Changes

The club recently loaned out two wingers—Katlego Otladisa to Sekhukhune United and Gilberto to Petro de Luanda—both until the end of this season.

With these departures, the future of the duo at Orlando Pirates remains uncertain, and the club may seek replacements to strengthen their wing positions.

Targeting Tshepang Moremi

One player reportedly on Orlando Pirates’ radar is Tshepang Moremi.

The 24-year-old forward has caught the eye of several South African clubs, including Kaizer Chiefs, who had shown interest last season.

However, according to Soccer Laduma, Orlando Pirates have now taken the lead in securing his signature, thanks to his impressive stats this season, where he has scored two goals and provided two assists in 18 games.

An insider shared with Soccer Laduma, “Pirates are ahead of Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs in the race for Moremi.

They have already made inquiries, and if talks progress, things could fall into place by the end of the season.

However, negotiations and discussions will play a big part in any deal.”

Possible Player Exchange Involved in the Deal

The transfer could involve a monetary exchange or even a player swap, depending on the value of Moremi and what AmaZulu seeks from Orlando Pirates.

Another source hinted that the specifics of any potential deal will largely depend on the negotiations between the clubs.

Interest in Jaedin Rhodes

Additionally, Orlando Pirates are reportedly keeping an eye on Cape Town City’s Jaedin Rhodes.

Rhodes is another potential target, though it remains to be seen how his future aligns with Pirates’ plans for next season.

What Are the Club’s Priorities for Signings and Releases?

With these potential additions on the horizon, the club faces decisions on who should stay and who should be released.

The next few months will be crucial in shaping the squad for the future.
