Sources close to both clubs have revealed to the Siya crew that Babina Noko has inquired about the 26-year-old, with the hope of securing the player on a season-long loan. 

"What I can say is that the deal is on the table. Most of the talks have been positive, and it's looking good that Sipho Mbule is set to join Sekhukhune United on a one-season loan. Almost everyone involved is happy with the talks, and that's why I am saying it's looking positive at the other end," the source revealed to Soccer Laduma. 

Its believed that a deal between the two clubs is imminent.

"Club to club, there is nothing left. They have agreed on almost everything. What remains now is for Sipho (Mbule) and Sekhukhune United to agree on personal terms. You know, at times, the salary is paid by both teams in halves or whatever they agree on. That's what is remaining now. But the deal is as good as done. He is set to go on loan to Sekhukhune United this week," the source observed.
