The transfer market is into its final hours of action, and Orlando Pirates are yet to announce the arrival of any big name players. However, there is hope… 

A lot can happen before the transfer window slams shut, and Pirates are looking poised to make too late swoops come 5pm on Friday.

Tshepo Gumede is said to be a strong contender to put pen-to-paper with the Buccaneers by the end of this week, after reports emerged last week that negotiations between Platinum Stars and Pirates had occurred. 

The central defender has been crucial to Dikwena’s excellent cup form over the past two seasons, and he has emerged as one of the most promising defensive talents in Mzansi.

Bucs fans have expressed their desire to see him arrive at Parktown, but he may not be the only player who could be added to Pirates' books…

Tendai Ndoro has also seen his name tied to the club. Should the Zimbabwean join, he will be a welcome addition to the strike force - which has struggled at times this season.

If these two were to arrive, would you Bucs fans feel it was a successful transfer window? What about the addition of a goalkeeper?
