Pirates Could Loan Out Cameroon Striker

Pirates Could Loan Out Cameroon Striker

Orlando Pirates' Cameroonian striker, Souaibou Marou.

Orlando Pirates are weighing their options on one of their strikers, Souaibou Marou who signed for the club in the January transfer window this year.

The Cameroonian has not received game time since joining the Houghton based side after the mid-season break.

Siya sources at the club have indicated that the Buccaneers may be looking at what will be the best way for Marou to find a solution for his career to progress.

The Siya source has stated that the club may want to either loan him out or put him on the transfer list. Not long ago, the striker's options looked promising after participating at the Qatar 2022 World Cup with Cameroon.

"I think they feel he hasn't lived up to the expectations. Remember he was with the Cameroon national team at the World Cup in Qatar and a lot was expected from him but it hasn't been like that (in South Africa)," said the Siya source.

"They feel the other strikers he found at the team have done better than him. So, they are looking at whether to loan him out or put him on the transfer list," the source stated.

Another Siya source indicated that the technical team may feel that he struggled to adapt to the club system and how Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro prefers to play.

"They feel it took him too long to adapt and that made it difficult for him. Now, they want him to get some game time somewhere and maybe when he comes back things could be better for him. I think it will be a loan and not a transfer. He still has two years left on his contract because he signed for two and a half years. So, a loan move makes sense at the moment," the source added. 

Efforts to get a comment from Pirates had proven unsuccessful on the day of preparing this story.
