According to Soccer Laduma, a Betway Premiership club is tracking Orlando Pirates midfielder Lesedi Kapinga.
After joining the Orlando Pirates from Mamelodi Sundowns last season, Kapinga has struggled to get playing time. However, Polokwane City has expressed a great interest in him, which may be a career lifeline. The midfielder, who was born in Musina, is reportedly the target of Polokwane City, who are looking to sign him for the next campaign.
According to insiders, Kapinga is seen by Polokwane City’s technical staff as a useful addition that will bolster their team. “Polokwane City is trying to bolster their squad for the new season,” the insider said. They aim to improve on their eighth-place finish from the previous campaign, and Lesedi Kapinga of the Orlando Pirates is one of the players they are focusing on.
“You know he is originally from Limpopo in Musina and he would love to go back home,” the source went on to say. However, talks between Polokwane City and the Orlando Pirates are still ongoing. They have enquired about him because of this.
According to a second source, Kapinga’s desire to look for a new team may be sparked by his limited playing time at the Orlando Pirates, where he faces competition from regulars like Rele Mofokeng, Monnapule Saleng, Tito Maswanganyi, and new signing Gilberto. He now has competition from regulars like Gilberto, the new recruit, Rele Mofokeng, Monnapule Saleng, and Tito Maswanganyi. It will be really difficult for them to play with him and Katlego Otladisa. And that’s possibly the reason he would want to go,” the second insider added.
