For quite some time, it’s been reported that Cameroon forward Bienvenu Eva Nga was set to leave Chippa United, with a move to a Gauteng club on the cards, and reports now suggest Pirates are set to win the race to secure his signature.
Kaizer Chiefs were said to be interested in his services, but there has been talk that the parties couldn’t reach an agreement over his personal terms.

More recent transfer talk suggests Pirates are set to swoop for Eva Nga, which will come as a timely boost to the Buccaneers.
According to Soccer Laduma, Pirates are believed to have offered Eva Nga a two-year contract, which will expectedly come with a transfer fee considering Chippa rather recently exercised the one-year option in his contract.

The latest report indicates that Nga is happy with what the Buccaneers have offered and could be registered once the transfer window open.
Eva Nga in, Mhango out for Pirates
Mhango has been conspicuous by his absence from regular action at the Pirates this season, and it was always expected that he would leave the club at the end of the season.
Mhango has been linked with both Pirates and Chiefs, but is has finally been confirmed that he will instead be heading to AmaZulu.
Interestingly, AmaZulu president Sandile Zungu has also confirmed that there will be another key player deal with Pirates, with Thapelo Xoki – who featured prominently for Usuthu this season – set to join the Buccaneers.
“We have 30 players not including MDC, we will release 13 and some of them are running out of contract, we won’t renew, we will sign eight players and have already spoken with some,” Zungu told Ukhozi FM.
“Dr Irvin Khoza did contact me personally about Thapelo Xoki and we’ve spoken. I respect him for the way he handled it, so Xoki will leave us, he played his last game yesterday and Gabadinho Mhango is joining us.”
