Orlando Pirates have already sold Mohau Nkota, and Relebohile Mofokeng is the next man potentially out the door. How will the team look?
Several new attacking players have arrived to offset these departures.
Let’s dig deeper.

Best Orlando Pirates XI without Mofokeng and Nkota?

Nkota is hanging out with a Liverpool legend
It hasn’t taken Mohau Nkota long to brush shoulders with a Champions League winner and share a few laughs in the process. Gini Wijnaldum, now 34, became a cult favourite at Liverpool for his knack of scoring goals in big games. The Dutchman won the Premier League, Champions League, Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup with the Reds, and he’s also vastly experienced on the international stage with 96 caps and 28 goals for the Netherlands. There’s also former PSG, Fulham, Lyon and Atlético Madrid attacker Moussa Dembélé. A South African ‘X’ user likes to think that Nkota and Wijnaldum were chatting in Afrikaans. Could have been!
