As the January transfer window approaches, Soweto giants Orlando Pirates are setting their sights on bolstering their front line in the Betway Premiership. The Sea Robbers, known for their tactical prowess and fierce determination, are reportedly on the hunt for a new center forward to enhance their attacking options.
Enter Lungelo Nguse, the Golden Arrows’ towering striker who has caught the eye of many with his commanding presence on the pitch. Celebrated for his strength and ability to hold the ball, Nguse has drawn comparisons to former Orlando Pirates’ forward Thamsanqa Gabuza. Despite netting only one goal in seven matches this season, his work rate and physicality make him a standout candidate for the role.
Hailing from KwaZulu Natal, the 25-year-old Nguse has an impressive resume, having played for Bizana Pondo Chiefs, Baroka FC, TS Sporting, the University of Pretoria, and Golden Arrows. His journey through these clubs has honed his skills and prepared him for the potential leap to a top-tier team.
According to reports from the Citizen, Orlando Pirates are not the only ones interested. Nguse is being monitored by two other prominent teams in the Betway Premiership, making the competition for his signature even fiercer. A source close to the player suggests that Nguse could secure a major move in the upcoming transfer window, although the exact names of the interested clubs remain undisclosed.
With Zakhele Lepasa and Boitumelo Radiopane facing uncertain futures under coach Jose Riveiro, Nguse could be the missing piece in the Pirates’ attacking puzzle. As the anticipation builds, fans and pundits alike are eager to see if Nguse will don the famous black and white kit and become the new sensation in Soweto.
