South African giants Orlando Pirates are plotting the signing of national team players ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Soweto-based club are seeking to strengthen their squad, particularly their attack for the new campaign as they seeks to make a meaningful impact in the upcoming season.
Orlando Pirates have not been clinical upfront this season, leading to the teams’ elimination from the CAF Champions League season. The club’s failure to reach the final has intensified concerns over the effectiveness of the attack.
In an attempt to resolve their goalscoring woes, Pirates have set sights on signing a top striker in the summer window. The club’s utmost priority is to sign a national team player and are considering options abroad.
The South Africa giants are prioritizing the acquisition of Zambian forward Andrew Phiri and Ghanaian striker Kwame Opoku.
Aside the aforementioned players, Pirates are considering the signing Brazilian striker Rafael Lopes, but much will depend on the progress of negotiations.
