Orlando Pirates are said to be leading the race to sign Chippa United's Thamsanqa Sangweni, and could pip fierce rivals, Kaizer Chiefs, to his signature. Read: Eight SA Youngsters Off To France As reported in the latest issue of Soccer Laduma, it is thought that Siyabonga Sangweni, Thamsanqa's older brother and former Bucs captain, is trying to help the Chippa midfielder make a decision on his future after an impressive 2015/16 campaign. A source told the Siya crew, "They are looking to bring him in. There are talks and I think Siyabonga is also helping his brother make a decision. I think when the team returns for pre-season, Thami could very well be with Pirates." Both Pirates and Chiefs have shown a keen interest in trying to bring the talented Bafana Bafana international on board, however, it remains to be seen how much it will cost to persuade the Chilli Boys to sell one of their star players. Sangweni was key for Dan Malesela's side in the most recent campaign, playing a vital role as they managed to qualify for the MTN8 for the first time in their history.
