Pirates looking to ship out duo

Both of the strikers have had very little impact since joining Pirates, with Eva Nga joining from Chippa United at the beginning of the season, while Marou entered the Buccaneers ship from his native. Much was expected of Marou having been part of a Cameroon squad that featured many players playing abroad at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. He is now thought to be available for transfer in the current transfer window.

Now it seems as if the Cameroonian duo may be heading out of the Buccaneers ship because the club are trying to tie up a deal for another forward, from a PSL rival. The player in question is believed to be Elias Mokwana of Sekhukhune United. The player has had a sterling season thus far for Ba Bina Noko, to such an extent that he caught the eye of Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos, who has him in his standby list for the AFCON 2023 tournament in Ivory Coast this month. Pirates have also caught on to his performance and according to KickOff.com, they’re working to bring him to the club. 

Mokwana deal on the cards?
