Pirates Lead In Race For Sought-After Defender?

Pirates Lead In Race For Sought-After Defender?

With Given Msimango expected to be one of the names set to headline the upcoming transfer window, PSL's big guns haven't stopped keeping tabs on the defender and the latest developments at TS Galaxy, the Siya crew has been informed. 

Both Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs are believed to be keen on the Galaxy centre-back who is also the captain of the side.

News reaching the Siya crew is that Pirates are working behind the scenes to try and lure the 25-year-old for coach Jose Riveiro's side for next season.

Sign In

Msimango has played every single minute of Galaxy's 23 matches in the league so far this season and has been impressive even though the team's results have been disappointing.

The Brakpan-born player has picked up just one yellow card, which is impressive for a player in his position.

Indications from sources are that progress is being made behind the scenes by the Buccaneers, to possibly sign the defender.

"Orlando Pirates appear to be the frontrunners for Given Msimango's signature as things stand. The club is likely to meet with the player's representatives in the coming days to discuss a possible move," said the source.

Msimango has a contract running until 2025 with Galaxy, which means that any potential move will have to be agreed to by the club.
