Despite already securing numerous signings, Orlando Pirates appear far from done in the transfer market as the club continues to assess options to bolster their squad ahead of the new season.

Insiders close to the Buccaneers have informed the Siya crew that the club has been running the rule over a promising defender during pre-season, with the technical team reportedly impressed by what they’ve seen.

The Siya crew has been reliably informed that the player in question is TS Galaxy defender Lebone Seema, who has been training with the Sea Robbers since the start of their pre-season programme under new head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou.

"He has been training with Pirates since they returned for pre-season with the new head coach. Its now all up to the coach to make his final decision and recommendations after what he has seen. But its believed that Seema has been doing very well and is promising. He impressed the head coach and the technical team with his progress," a source revealed to the Siya crew. 

While Seema is yet to officially sign with Pirates, it’s believed the club is seriously considering strengthening the defensive department further.

Indications are that the Buccaneers may still bring in one or two more defenders before the season kicks off.

"Apparently there are a few more defenders that they are looking at before they can make the final decision. The club will look at adding one or two more players before the start of the season," the insider added.

Pirates have landed in Spain for their pre-season camp and will face off against Bolton, Pafos, Las Palmas and Grenada in friendly matches. 

The Siya crew reached out to the club for comment, but attempts were unsuccessful.
