The Siya crew brings you the latest transfer movements on deadline day!
As earlier reported by Soccer Laduma, Thabo Matlaba might not be a Swallows player by the end of business today, sources close to the player have indicated – Royal AM are keen on his signature.
The chairman of the club has since confirmed he is indeed leaving.
And Mxolisi Macuphu is also set to join the ambitions KwaZulu-Natal outfit with defender Mzwanele Mahashe potentially going in the oppositive direction to TS Galaxy.
Here are the latest deals as they happen:
Cape Town City
Bafana Bafana striker Fagrie Lakay has joined Egyptian side Pyramids FC.
Lakay has joined Pyramids on a permanent transfer after the two clubs agreed to a deal on Deadline Day.
Swallows FC
The Siya crew contacted Swallows chairman David Mogashoa for the latest regarding Thabo Matlaba and he confirmed the player's departure.
“The player requested a clearance on Saturday and after deliberations it has since been issued. He had six months on his contract, meaning he can sign a pre-contract somewhere else. But we did not want a situation where any player has committed his long term future at another club and we are holding them back. If there’s an opportunity for them to earn more somewhere else, we are open to discussing that. Thabo Matlaba is no longer a Swallows player and we wish him the best of luck," the Dube Birds boss explained.
Sundowns
Sifiso Ngobeni is believed to be on his way to SuperSport United, while the two clubs are working on also getting striker Promise Mkhuma on loan.
Confirmation imminent.
TS Galaxy
The Siya crew have been informed that Marlon Heugh is set to follow his teammates Mokete Mogaila and Mxolisi Machupu to Royal AM. Despite Stellenbosch FC making contact with the player, the 31-year-old opted for a switch to KZN, where he will replace the departed Jackson Mabokgwane.
Tumelo Bodibe has terminated his contract with TS Galaxy four months before it was due to expire in May 2022, with both parties agreeing to mutually terminate the contract. The 28-year-old made just two appearances for the rockets this season and is currently a free agent.
Royal AM
Meanwhile, goalkeeper Mabokgwane could in fact be set to replace Heugh at Galaxy.
He is a free agent after parting ways with Royal AM earlier in January and Galaxy are determined to bring the former Orlando Pirates shot-stopper on board. The Siya crew has reported of Marumo Gallants’ interest in the player and it remains to be seen if Galaxy can land the signature of the experienced goalkeeper.
AmaZulu
The club welcomed Abbubaker Mobara and Abraham Majok last week, and all eyes are on whether Siyethemba Sithebe will make his much talked about move to Kaizer Chiefs before the window slams shut.
Cape Town City
Fagrie Lakay is understood to have arrived in Egypt ahead of his big move to Pyramids!
Sources have revealed that Edmilson Dove has requested to be transfer-listed, with the club having looked out for potential suitors. With no takers, the 27-year-old is believed to have parted ways with the Citizens by mutual agreement.
An announcement on the Mozambican's exit is immiment.
Marumo Gallants
The Siya crew has been led to believe that Marumo Gallants striker Maboke Matlakala has joined Black Leopards on loan until the end of the season.
Matlakala made just six appearances in all competitions for Gallants and will now get an opportunity to get more game time in the GladAfrica Champions with Lidoda Duvha, who are looking to avoid relegation.
