Orlando Pirates eyeing big January signing
Abdeslam Ouaddou’s side have already lifted the first trophy on offer this season, the MTN8 title.
There’s still the Carling Knockout, Nedbank Cup, Betway Premiership and CAF Champions League titles up for grabs.
If everything goes according to plan for Orlando Pirates, they’ll compete till the very end for all of the above-mentioned trophies.
And it’s for that reason that the club are already looking at impact players to sign in January!
Andre de Jong still wanted by Bucs
After failing to sign Stellenbosch star Andre de Jong, the Orlando Pirates are reportedly plotting a January push to sign the New Zealand international.
“Siya sources have suggested that the Buccaneers are likely to return for De Jong in January, viewing his versatility and consistency as qualities that would add further depth to their attacking options,” a Soccer Laduma report read regarding Orlando Pirates’ upcoming transfer plans.
De Jong is a senior figure at Stellenbosch. The 28-year-old has already made over 100 appearances for the Cape side.
He scored 16 goals while assisting a further 11 more for Steve Barker’s side.
Orlando Pirates made an attempt to sign him hours before the winter transfer window shut close.
Unfortunately for the Buccaneers, they couldn’t reach an agreement with Stellenbosch in time.
Now, they’re set to go back for De Jong in the January transfer window.
