Kaizer Chiefs player is on his way to join Orlando Pirates.
Samkelo Zwane to switch from Kaizer Chiefs to Orlando Pirates?
There already has been one transfer between Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates this window, could Samkelo Zwane be the next? His agent speaks!.
Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates have already made one direct transfer in the current transfer window, could another happen?
Pirates have recently sold left-back Bongani Sam to Chiefs, although their neighbours are yet to confirm the deal.
Sam has moved from Pirates to Chiefs
Sam joins from Pirates, although he spent two seasons on loan to the other Soweto giant in Moroka Swallows. The move came as a huge shock as the two clubs have an unwritten rule that players don’t move between them directly. Chiefs have benefited on this occasion, albeit the 26-year-old suffering an unfortunate long-term injury with squad in Turkey.
Having said that, could Pirates also be about to benefit from this breach of agreement by signing a Chiefs players? With young Samkelo Zwane struggling for game time at Amakhosi in the last season, the idea of a loan move has been mooted. That has also led to a section of Buccaneers believing the player’s abilities are wasted at their neighbours and that he should cross the divide.
Should that happen, Zwane would follow in the footsteps of his father Eugene, who played for Pirates. But just how possible is it for the midfielder to swap Chiefs for the Ghosts? His agent Mike Makaab has weighed in on the rumours, while speaking to KickOff.com.
Zwane to follow in opposite direction?
“There’s no reason to panic and start talking about Samkelo (Zwane) moving on loan or moving to another football club. I totally disagree. Besides that, he’s contracted to Kaizer Chiefs and he’s an important part of the future of the club. It would be a very strange thing for one to even contemplate something like that. I think Samkelo has got the qualities to play in Europe and on the back of a good season at Chiefs, it wouldn’t surprise me seeing the young man fulKll his dream.” Said Makaab on the matter.
Well there you have Pirates fans, you will not be getting your wish of signing Zwane from Chiefs. Would you have liked to see him in your midfield? Feel free to leave your thoughts and feelings below.
