Why Kermit Erasmus is reluctant to re-join Bucs

“Orlando Pirates can afford Erasmus, but he is hesitant to make a move there.” a source told the publication.

“This is because it is not really the head coach, Jose Riveiro, who is keen on having the player at Pirates.

“It is more of a move from the top brass. At the same time, the boy does not want to get himself in a situation where he is going to struggle for game time.”
