Orlando Pirates prodigy wanted for another season by Spurs

“It’s not really a surprise that they want to keep him for longer. He has done really well for them and scored some crucial goals this season.” an insider told Citizen.

“It’s going to be a very important season for them, and they want to have someone like Radiopane to be there and help them to be competent in the PSL (DStv Premiership) if they get promoted.

“It’s a tricky situation because Orlando Pirates technical team is happy with his progress. The club is going to play in Caf next season, and they need all the depth they can have in their squad. Especially someone who has done well like him (Radiopane).

“But there are still a lot of things that are going to happen at the club (Pirates) when the season ends. Some guys are coming to the end of their contracts and will be leaving the team.

“While there will also be new arrivals at the club. So, we will see how things will unfold once the season is done.”
