Orlando Pirates are eyeing some serious prodigies, namely Zimbabwean midfielder Prince Ndlovu and fellow 19-year-old Neo Rapoo.
“Highlanders FC value Prince (Ndlovu) and that’s why they are pricing him at around R15million,” a source revealed.
“For now this price is believed to be directed at South African team Orlando Pirates because apparently they are the ones who have enquired about his services. Highlanders believe it’s a fair price looking at his talent, quality and future ahead of him.”
Rapoo news confirmed
SuperSport United left-back Rapoo shun bright on an otherwise underwhelming side that narrowly missed the relegation playoffs. Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs are both interested, insinuating a move to be inevitable.
“Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs are both keen to sign SuperSport United left-back Neo Rapoo ahead of the new season,” an inside source revealed.
“His performances as he led South Africa U20 to the Africa Cup of Nations title earned him interest in Scandinavia and the Gulf but sources as Matsatsansa have confirmed Chiefs and Pirates are both seriously after the player who is seen as future senior national team left-back.”
“With Orlando Pirates having released Paseka Mako and the retirement of Innocent Maela, their interest on the promising full-back comes as no surprise, while Chiefs are looking to remedy a position that has plagued them in the last couple of seasons.”
What other youngsters should Orlando Pirates be looking into?
