Eva Nga was finally released by Pirates this week, after one-and-a-half seasons of limited opportunities.

That, to such an extent that many thought he would be regarded surplus to requirements at the Buccaneers much earlier.

After a few seasons at Chippa, his efforts would soon catch the eyes of bigger clubs in the DStv Premiership. Initially he was linked to Pirates’ archrivalChiefs, with there being confirmation of a transfer fee agreement already in place between the two clubs.

Chiefs interested in signing former Pirates star Eva Nga

“It has been quick but it’s a thing that was was already there. Yes, Chiefs are one of the clubs that have already inquired about him. That interest was there before and now it could work even to their favour because he is a free agent. There are other clubs interested as well including his former club Chippa United.

Middle Eastern interest?

“He won’t be short of options. Apart from the local teams interested in him there is a club in Kuwait as well. That club started asking about him while he was still a Pirates player. I think they would also jump into the chance that he is now a free agent and maybe sign him,” said the source.
