Orlando Pirates are reportedly eyeing in-form TS Galaxy defender Samukelo Kabini ahead of the upcoming transfer window.
The 20-year-old left-back has caught the attention of the Buccaneers due to his impressive performances, and Pirates are now considering making a move for his signature. Kabini has been on their radar for some time, and they are closely monitoring his progress.
Chiefs also Interested Kaizer Chiefs had shown interest in Kabini earlier this year, although they didn’t take any formal steps towards signing him. Despite that, Amakhosi are still following the young defender’s situation. With Pirates now also entering the race, competition for Kabini’s signature is heating up.
Pirates Look to Strengthen After Quiet Window Having made no signings during the January transfer window, Orlando Pirates are looking to add quality players to their squad for both domestic and continental challenges. Kabini, who spent time in the Pirates development system before moving to TS Galaxy in 2023, has been a standout performer in the PSL and could make a return to the Soweto giants.
Kabini’s Impressive Season The young defender has been a key player for TS Galaxy this season, with his solid defensive displays and ability to contribute to attacks gaining widespread praise. His standout performance against Mamelodi Sundowns only strengthened his growing reputation as one of the most exciting young talents in South African football.
A source revealed, “Pirates are watching him closely, and based on his performances, they could make an official approach for him at the end of the season.”
With Pirates aiming to strengthen their squad to challenge for the league title and a deep run in the CAF Champions League, Kabini could be an ideal addition to their long-term plans. As the transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on the Buccaneers and whether they can secure his signature to reinforce their squad.
