It looks like Kaizer Chiefs are in the best position to land Orlando Pirates forward Tshegofatso Mabasa. As the team prepares for next season, they’ve made the 29-year-old their top priority to boost their attacking options.
The Situation at Pirates
Mabasa is currently playing for Stellenbosch on loan, where he has been putting in impressive performances. However, reports suggest he isn’t in Orlando Pirates’ future plans. Since his contract ends this season, he will likely be able to join a new team for free, and Amakhosi are ready to pounce.
Although Kaizer Chiefs are currently the front-runners, they face stiff competition from several other clubs interested in the striker’s services. Stellenbosch may try to keep him permanently due to coach Gavin Hunt’s high regard for his play, while AmaZulu is also looking to bring him in to bolster their own roster. Beyond the local league, even the Egyptian heavyweights Al Ahly are rumored to be monitoring the situation closely.
With his contract ending soon, Mabasa has become one of the most talked-about players in the league. Whether he chooses to stay with Gavin Hunt, head to Naturena, or move abroad, his decision will be one of the biggest highlights of the upcoming transfer window.
