Orlando Pirates win the race against Kaizer Chiefs for a new midfielder!

After midfielder Miguel Timm's departure from Orlando Pirates this season, the Buccaneers will have to get serious about signing new names this summer ahead of the start of the new season. This will be necessary because with the departure of Jose Rivero, the new coaching staff will have radically different ideas to those of the Spanish coach and his technical team.

Quick move to replace Timm

Orlando Pirates are already on the lookout for new signings to bolster their midfield, and 23-year-old Masindi Nemtajela appears to be the one the Buccaneers' management have chosen as they strive to improve on the form they have shown this season.

The player made 17 appearances last season for the Gallants, scoring once and assisting two goals, so he could be an impact player for the Sea Robbers if a deal is done this summer before the start of the new season.

“The scouts and recruiters were looking at a direct replacement for Timm, Masindi fitted in that area, and that’s why they went for him. Now that everything is sorted and a three-year deal has been agreed”.
