“The talks between the two clubs are apparently in an advanced stage and why the deal didn’t happen in January is because it could have involved the international transfer clearances as well as a work permit.” a source told SoccerLaduma.

“That’s why they moved the whole deal to the end of the season. They believe that by that time it will be ideal for the player to move without hiccups and delays. So expect him to be at Orlando Pirates in the new season.”
