Orlando Pirates are after the services of top notch striker.

International teams are vying for a 10-goal striker for the Orlando Pirates!

A striker who has already scored ten goals this season has been targeted by the Orlando Pirates for the January transfer window, but he may suddenly be passed over!

According to sources, the Orlando Pirates are reportedly searching for a striker before the January transfer window opens.

So far this season, the Pirates have depended on two strikers: Tshegofatso Mabasa and Evidence Makgopa.

Pirates targeting Khanyi in January.

Numerous strikers were linked to Pirates during the previous transfer window, and the team was reportedly searching. such as Sabelo Ndzinisa, Tremaine Eastmond, Ashley Cupido, and Muzomuhle Khany. Ultimately, young striker Boitumelo Radiopane returned to support the front line, and none of the aforementioned joined the team.

However, Radiopane has struggled to get game time since rejoining the team, so things have not exactly gone as planned. The Pirates might then reenter the striker market during the following transfer window. This magazine stated earlier this month that they have rekindled their interest in Khanyi, who has remained in excellent form. However, Soccer-Laduma now claims that the Township Rollers, a formidable team from Botswana, will compete with them for his services.

Face competition from Township Rollers

“Interest is growing in Muzi Khanyi as more clubs in the PSL and abroad are keen on his services. Township Rollers from Botswana are among the clubs that are showing interest, and it looks like it will be difficult for Hungry Lions to hold onto the player beyond this season. While interest from abroad is appreciated, the player and his camp would be keen on a local move at this stage of his career, especially with top clubs like Pirates and Stellenbosch in the picture,” said the source to the same publication.

Stellenbosch also in the picture!

Then, it becomes evident that Khanyi would prefer to pick from his local team, which includes Stellenbosch FC and Pirates. Only the two strikers would be his primary opponents if he joined the Buccaneers. If he were to join the Cape Winelands side, Ashley Cupido would be his primary rival. He has ten goals for the Hungry Lions so far this season across all competitions. Which one should he pick?
