There are plenty of rumours and even solid confirmations surrounding the big three of Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates and Sundowns.
Here we look at the latest PSL transfer rumours.
Is cup winner bound for Gauteng?
Nedbank Cup Player of the Tournament Washington Arubi could be about to swap Limpopo for Gauteng.
The 35-year-old was impressive between the sticks for TTM (now Marumo Gallants) last season, but is out of contract with the club.
Arubi has now been linked with a move to newly promoted Sekhukhune United who have been reinforcing their squad for a maiden PSL campaign.
According to Soccer Laduma, an announcement from the club could be just days away.
Bafana star tipped to join Kaizer Chiefs
Free agent and international midfielder Keagan Dolly has been linked with a move to Kaizer Chiefs.
Dolly is currently a free agent having parted ways with French Ligue 1 side Montpellier at the end of last term.
Stuart Baxter is reportedly in the market for attacking players wih the club’s lack of goals causing grave concern, and Dolly could be the creative force that unlocks their potential.
According to reports, Kaizer Chiefs will unveil the signing of Dolly in the next week.
Kaizer Chiefs also chasing Tanzanian striker
Tanzanian striker Ismail Aziz Kada, is reportedly set to arrive in South Africa in the coming days to conclude a deal with an as yet unnamed PSL team.
The rumour mill has identified Kaizer Chiefs as one of three teams keen on Kada. Sources in Tanzania have claimed that the forward has drawn the interest of a handful of clubs, but Kaizer Chiefs are favoured to land his services.
Kada has steadily risen through the ranks in Tanzania, transferring to Azam FC from Tanzania Prisons in 2020. He can play as an attacking midfielder or striker.
Golden Arrows waiting on Orlando Pirates over duo
Golden Arrows are rumoured to be waiting on Orlando Pirates regarding the future of Gladwin Shitolo and Mthokozisi Dube.
The club are keen to hang on to their best players but recognise that they cannot hold anyone back from reaching their footballing dreams.
An unnamed source close to the club told the Citizen: “It’s stressing at this moment because the club is looking for continuity, but how are you going to achieve that when the players who were regulars are no longer there? I’m not saying it’s impossible to replace them, but it’s going to be hard. We also lost the coach (Mandla Ncikazi) so, you see this thing makes it a bit difficult. So, we will hear what Orlando Pirates say about them.”
Sundowns beat Kaizer Chiefs to Kutumela
Mamelodi Sundowns unveiled their latest signing on Friday, confirming they had beaten Kaizer Chiefs to the signature of Thabiso Kutumela.
Kutumela almost single-handedly kept Maritzburg United in the PSL last season, finishing among the league’s top scorers and he had been pursued by the biggest clubs in the country.
