Stellies star to snub Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates for Europe? 

Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates are believed to be going head to head for a number of transfer targets.

Chiefs and Pirates are both known for wanting to boost their respective squads with the best quality available.

It is believed that, this time around it will be no different between the two Soweto giants. This, of course, will inevitably see them clash for certain targets. According to reports they’re already clashing for Stanley Nwabali, Oswin Appollis, Elias Mokwana, Riaan Hanamub and Shaune Mogaila. That does not seem to be where the list ends, however, with a new name set to be part of the tug-of-war. 

In fact, just three weeks ago this publication reported that Chiefs had joined Pirates in the race for Freddy Kouablan. Last month, both were thought to be in the race for Chippa United star Baraka Majagoro. TS Galaxy’s Thato Khiba has also since entered the list. That just proves that both clubs are looking to strengthen their forward lines ahead of next season. Now the latest name to be discussed by both clubs suggests their defensive lines are also a targeted area for improvement. 

Pirates and Chiefs interested in Toure

Earlier this week, this publication reported that Chiefs had joined Pirates in a race for their ex-trialist Ismael Toure. But now, according to iDiski Times his club Stellenbosch would rather sell the players to a club abroad.

“Toure has emerged as a potential target for Orlando Pirates in the off-season. But sources indicate the club and the player’s first preference is to move to Europe. Stellies have not hidden their desire to try and facilitate more moves for players abroad while also securing healthy profits for their investments.” Wrote the publication. 

Chiefs could be about to release Njabulo Ngcobo, while Pirates will see Olisa Ndah’s contract come to an end. It remains to be seen what happens to the duo and if it influences the pursuit of Toure.
