Both the Soweto giants have been persistently linked with the signature of Letsoalo and his form for Royal AM this season has intensified that. 

Chiefs and Pirates seem to keep changing ascendency in the race for Letsoalo, with Amakhosi rumoured to be the first club that was in for his services.

However, those links proved to quieten down in the previous transfer window, with the Buccaneers being the club linked with the Bafana Bafana international profusely.

Those links would, in fact, persist even after the transfer window, which made it look like they were serious about signing him. 

Orlando Pirates reportedly offered a swap deal

In fact, Pirates sources went as far as claiming that the club was so willing to do the deal, that they would propose a swap deal with troublemaker Gabadinho Mhango joining Royal AM, in exchange for Letsoalo.

However, after Mhango had knuckled down there seems to have been a change of tune in the Bucs camp about the player, with the Malawian international now reportedly set for a contract extension at the club.

That coincided with a change in the rumour mill too, as Letsoalo was forced to answer questions linking him to Chiefs again.

The 29-year-old has been a thorn in the flesh of the Glamour boys this season, with a his four goals in two games against the club, making it hard for them to miss him.

It now looks as if, he will make things easier for them, should they want to sign him this January. This is because Kickoff are reporting that the player is set to hand in a transfer request to force a move to Gauteng.

“Victor Letsoalo has made his intentions known to the club that he wants to move elsewhere and is not ready to remain at Royal AM beyond his current contract, He wants to move away from Royal AM this January. He will meet again with the club in the new year, where he is expected to officially hand in a transfer request,” said the source.
