Orlando Pirates star Monnapule Saleng believes he’ll not only replicate his current form next season, but better it!

The speedy winger scored an incredible 15 goals while registering a further 11 assists this season for his side.

Saleng almost singlehandedly led his side to the MTN8 title while also playing a key-role in their Nedbank Cup triumph.

And he has since claimed that next season is going to be even better!

Despite being at Naturena for two seasons now, Ngcobo hasn’t adjusted to life as a Glamour Boy.

And now, Swallows FC chairman David Mogashoa has offered him a ‘get out of jail free’ card!

“Very disappointed, I think he’s also disappointed that he did not get game time. I’m open to talks if they (Kaizer Chiefs) want to send him out, I’m willing to take him.” – Swallows FC chairman David Mogashoa told SoccerLaduma.

“He did very well at Swallows. I always say to people the pressure at Swallows is not the same pressure at Chiefs. You can be a very good player at Swallows and be a bad player at Chiefs.”
