Orlando Pirates have been the busiest of the teams in the PSL during this transfer period.
So far, the Buccaneers have signed 10 players, as they seek to once again challenge Mamelodi Sundowns for the Betway Premiership.
Earlier in the week, Mohau Nkota left Orlando Pirates after one season to join Saudi outfit Al-Ettifaq. The 20-year-old has had a fantastic season, scoring five goals and providing seven assists in 39 matches across all competitions.
On Friday, Unplayable reported that Nkota’s former teammate Relebofile Mofokeng could also join him in Saudi Arabia this transfer period.
Will Orlando Pirates sell Mofokeng to Saudi?
Sechaba Mofokeng, the father of Relebohile, said his biggest wish was to see his son playing in Europe this coming season. He discouraged a move to Saudi, saying it was too soon for the boy to play in the Middle East.
This week, Soccer Laduma reported that Dutch side PSV were looking to sign Mofokeng for over R100 million but Pirates refuted the claims.
Who will replace Mofoekeng and Nkota at Orlando Pirates?
The Buccaneers have already signed Kamogelo Sebelebele, Oswin Appollis and Tshepang Moremi as possible replacements. Former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder has backed Sebelebele to succeed at Pirates.
“I was fortunate enough to have worked with Kamogelo in COSAFA and CHAN. He’s a good player with the right attitude,” Letsholonyane said on Omni Audio Africa.
“I’m not surprised to see Orlando Pirates signing him because he deserves that. So he adds on the quality of Oswin Appollis and Rele [Mofokeng].
“He gives you the same possibilities, but he can even play as a striker. If you are a coach who wants to play with a false 9, then Kamogelo gives you that.

“And another thing is that he wants to win every game he plays, tired or not tired, he’ll leave everything on the field until the last whistle, so that’s one positive signing for Pirates, and I’m happy for Kamogelo, he deserves this move,” Yeye said.
