Orlando Pirates are set to announce a number of new signings soon as the transfer window opens for next season.
Pirates are rumoured to have been busy with boosting their squad ahead of another busy campaign in 2025/26.
About five signings already agreed
One of the positions that Pirates seem keen to revamp ahead of the new campaign, is their midfield. According to reports, the Buccaneers have transfer agreements in place to sign Sihle Nduli and Sinoxolo Kwayiba. Nduli would be arriving from Stellenbosch FC as a free agent, while Kwayiba is set to join from Chippa United.
Now according to Soccer-Laduma, Pirates are also targeting young Zimbabwean forward Prirnce Ndlovu.
“He (Ndlovu) trained with Pirates in March 2023 and and at that time he was only 16-years-old. He was preparing to go to Europe but things didn’t work out. It’s believed that since then Pirates scouts have apparently been monitoring him and now they are willing to give him a chance at the team. They have kept tabs on him and they are impressed by his progress at Highlanders FC in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe,” said the source to the same publication.
Pirates looking for Ndlovu
A second source said that Pirates will be monitoring Ndlovu in the ongoing COSAFA Cup in Bloemfontein.
“Pirates will have the chance to continue monitoring him (Ndlovu) when he plays for the Zimbabwe national team at the COSAFA Cup. Yes, it’s believed that the scouts and recruiters are happy and this will give them a first-hand chance to see him in action before they could finalise anything,” said the second source to the same publication.
Another young winger for Buccaneers?
Pirates already have two young wingers in Relebohile Mofokeng and Mohau Nkota. Adding the exciting Ndlovu to the mix will increase their depth and strength for next season.
