Interest is hotting up for Orlando Pirates star, Thembinkosi Lorch, as the close of the July/ August transfer window draws closer.
The Siya crew recently reported that Belgian club Royale Union Saint-Gilloise have made enquiries into the availability of the player, confirmed by sources in the know. The latest news reaching the Siya crew is that three more clubs have joined the race for the top attacker's signature.
Following his award winning 2018/19 campaign, clinching the PSL's Footballer of the Season and Absa Premiership Players' Player of the Season awards, Lorch has attracted interest from a number of overseas clubs.

It was reported that RUSG or any other suitor may have to make an offer of upwards of R20 million for Pirates to consider selling their star player.
RUSG, though, have now been joined in their pursuit of the Bafana Bafana international's signature. According to Siya sources, Belgian side Club Brugge are keen on the player. Its's the same club that Percy Tau is turning out for in Belgium.
In addition, the sources have exclusively revealed that French Ligue 1 sides, Dijon Football Côte d'Or and Toulouse FC, have also shown an interest in the 26-year-old.
"There are two clubs from France and one from Belgium that have joined the race for Thembinkosi Lorch's services. One of the clubs in Percy Tau's current team – Club Brugge," confirmed the source.

"The other two clubs showing interest are Dijon from France, as well as Toulouse, which is also from there. However, all the clubs haven't been able to reach an agreement with Pirates with their offers.
"None of the three clubs has seemingly made an offer deemed best enough for Pirates to sell the player. The boy would be happy if Pirates could give him the club's blessings and allow him to go and further his career overseas before the transfer window closes at the end of the month," the source concluded.
