Orlando Pirates Football Club is reportedly interested in signing a former youth defender of their arch-rivals, Kaizer Chiefs Football Club.

The 22-year-old player is currently considering his options after his team, Maritzburg United, was relegated to the Motsepe Foundation Championship.

Lungelo Bhengu is said to be unhappy playing in the lower division and has requested his clearance from Maritzburg United.

Orlando Pirates Looking to Strengthen Their Defence

Orlando Pirates, known as the Buccaneers, have had a mixed bag of results in the DStv Premiership.

While they have shown their attacking prowess, they have struggled at times to keep a clean sheet, conceding goals in all three of their league games so far.

A solid addition to their defense could significantly improve their chances of success, especially given their demanding schedule.

This is where Lungelo Bhengu could come in handy.

Bhengu’s Potential Move to Orlando Pirates

According to reports from various reports Pirates has expressed their interest in signing Bhengu.

The club’s management had a meeting with the player on Monday, and the final decision is expected to be made soon.

Bhengu’s desire to leave Maritzburg United and his availability have caught the attention of the Buccaneers, who are eagerly waiting for the outcome of the meeting to make their move.

The Need for Defensive Reinforcement

Pirates’ defensive unit has been under scrutiny due to their recent defensive lapses.

Adding a quality defender like Bhengu could bring much-needed stability to their backline.

With a tight schedule ahead, the Buccaneers will need to rely on a strong defense to maintain consistency and secure positive results.

His potential arrival could be a step in the right direction for the club.
