This R7.5 MILLION striker from Mamelodi Sundowns is one of the biggest stars in the PSL, and Orlando Pirates have their sights set on him.
The Soweto giants were determined to strengthen their assault before the transfer window closes.
They submitted an official request to borrow Percy Tau. Now, they are pursuing a great Sundowns striker.
PIRATES TARGET R7.5 MILLION SUNDOWNS STAR
The Pirates are one among the elite clubs interested in signing Kermit Erasmus of Sundowns.

Erasmus has recently slipped from favor, falling down the rankings. This is because Peter Shalulile and Themba Zwane are in excellent form.
Therefore, he is on the verge of leaving the team, with numerous prominent DStv Premiership clubs vying for his services. However, the Buccaneers are the most likely of the interested teams to be able to afford him.
His services can be afforded by pirates.
He is currently worth R7.5 MILLION, according to transfermarkt.
Given his experience and the fact that his contract doesn’t expire until June of next year, he may ask for even more.
Therefore, whichever side attempts to sign him will be required to buy him out of his contract.
The administration is eager to sign Erasmus. However, Jose Riveiro lacks enthusiasm.
“Pirates can afford Erasmus, but he is apprehensive to transfer there since Jose Riveiro, the team’s head coach, is not particularly interested in signing him; rather, it is a move by Pirates’ upper management. “At the same time, he doesn’t want to put himself in a position where he has to fight for playing time,” a source stated in the same publication.
Currently, the front line of the Pirates is filled with talent, including Kwame Peprah, Deon Hotto, Eva Nga, and Evidence Makgopa of Bafana Bafana.
