News reaching the Siya crew is that Orlando Pirates are still keen on strengthening the club's defence, with indications that the Soweto giants have set their sights on a Sekhukhune United defender.
Insiders have revealed that the Buccaneers are monitoring Democratic Republic of Congo international Tresor Tshibwabwa Yamba Yamba.
"Pirates are already working on the team even for next season and that's why there are some players they are monitoring and one of them is Sekhukhune United defender Tresor (Tshibwabwa). For now it's interest from Pirates and they are the ones working on that," a source informed the Siya crew.

Pirates' aim is believed to have a competitive pool of central defenders, which is why Tshibwabwa is being closely monitored.
"You know even now they have two injured central defenders in Olisa Ndah and Thapelo Xoki since they released Sandile Mthethwa they want to replace him with a top defender hence their interest in Tshibwabwa. They are in the process of building a team which won't just compete this season but many more seasons to come and they are looking at bringing in different players," the source added.

Tshibwabwa, formerly of Red Arrows FC, joined Sekhukhune United in 2022 on a six-year contract that runs until June 2028.
The 26-year-old had a challenging first season but bounced back last year, featuring in 21 league games and scoring one goal. This season, he has already netted two goals in 10 appearances.
