Orlando Pirates manage to beat Kaizer Chiefs in the 'biggest deal of the season'

Orlando Pirates last lost to bitter rivals Kaizer Chiefs in the Nedbank Cup final, but it seems that the Pirates are out for revenge in their own way against the Glamour Boys, and with the summer market approaching, Orlando Pirates seem to have set their sights on an outright Kaizer Chiefs target.

Orlando Pirates want to sign a midfielder who was a Kaizer Chiefs target!

The Orlando Pirates have been working around the clock to find the right deals for the upcoming season and it looks like they have already set their first target for the summer market in one of the names that has been on Kaizer Chiefs' radar for a long time.

The Buccaneers have reportedly reached a long-term agreement with Marumo Gallants' Masindi Nemtajela to join the team next month.

The player, who made 20 appearances for his club last season, was a target for Kaizer Chiefs and several other clubs in the past few months, but it seems the Pirates got to the player before anyone else.

In a surprise move that alters the PSL transfer landscape, Orlando Pirates have reportedly hijacked Kaizer Chiefs' pursuit of rising star Masindi Nemtajela. Sources indicate the Buccaneers view the talented midfielder as the ideal successor to Miguel Timm, whose imminent departure leaves a void in their squad.

The Amakhosi, meanwhile, face mounting midfield concerns after recently parting ways with Njabulo Blom. This double blow leaves Chiefs scrambling for alternatives as their Soweto rivals strengthen strategically.
