“It is possible that he (Akpeyi) might end up at Orlando Pirates.” a source told Citizen regarding the ex Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper.

“I don’t think he will just go there and become their number one. That makes it a bit tricky for him. (former Kaizer Chiefs and Nigeria keeper).

“But they have made enquiries about him because they are looking at strengthening their goalkeeping department after Wayne Sandilands left.

“Orlando Pirates is not the only team, there is also Swallows, Sekhukhune and SuperSport.
