According to Soccer Laduma, the 21-year-old could be on the move this January transfer window.

“First, it was Kaizer Chiefs who were interested in him and now another South African team, Orlando Pirates jabe inquired about him. He did very well during the Cosafa tournament here in South Africa and he has continued with that form even at home in Malawi and I think that’s what made Pirates look into him,” Soccer Laduma said.

“I can’t say it’s a done deal yet but it’s 50/50 at the moment. Anything can happen because he is a good player and he is in demand right now,” said the publication.

Orlando Pirates have plenty of wingers this season and with the likes of Vincent Pule, Monnapule Saleng and aLesedi Kapinga struggling for game time, it remains to be seen if Nkoma can break into the team if he is signed by the Soweto Giants.
