Siyanda Ndlovu: Orlando Pirates eye move for Golden Arrows winger in €1.20m swoop

South African right winger Siyanda Ndlovu of Golden Arrows is being linked with a switch to Orlando Pirates, with the Soweto giants monitoring the 22-year-old’s situation at the Durban club.

Ndlovu, born in Dannhauser, KwaZulu-Natal on 19 September 2003, is listed with a market value of €1.20m and is emerging as one of the most talked-about wide players in the South African game. Transfer data compiled on 1 July 2026 places him as a potential target for Pirates, although the reported probability of a move remains unclear and is currently marked as “?”.

The Lamontville Golden Arrows No 8 operates primarily as an attacking right winger and has been a regular feature in the side, catching the eye with his direct running and pace. While no official fee or agreement has been disclosed, the lack of a stated contract expiry date in publicly available records has fuelled talk that Arrows could face a decision soon over whether to cash in or risk losing him later down the line, possibly even as a free agent if his deal runs down.

Recent performances have only strengthened speculation, with Ndlovu impressing in Golden Arrows’ latest league outing – a tightly contested match against domestic opposition in which Arrows’ wide play again ran through his flank, although the side were unable to turn territory into a decisive scoreline. His form has ensured that his valuation of €1.20m on Transfermarkt is seen as attainable for a club of Pirates’ stature.

With his career still at an early stage and experience so far confined to South African domestic football, a high-profile move to Orlando Pirates would represent a significant step up and could prove decisive in shaping both his reputation and long-term trajectory in the Premier Soccer League if it materialises.
