Orlando Pirates star on the move?
There’s been plenty of noise surrounding in-form Saleng, who has attracted the attention of several European suitors.
An anonymous Soccer Laduma source provided an update on the situation, saying, “It’s not like the interest died off. It is just that last season he was not playing much so it was hard for the teams interested in him to monitor his progress but they were checking what was going on. Now, since he is back in the thick of things, the interest has arisen again”
“It’s Standard Liege that have shown interest. Actually, last season, they were also interested in Mohau Nkota while Monaco SC were interested in Saleng. So, now it is believed that the Standard Liege scouts are looking at Saleng since Nkota has not been playing much since his promotion”.
Nabi’s take on the transfer market
“For myself, I think look now, in October we don’t play, then we have November and December. Then in January, the window opens. I need to scout for the quality that I need”, Kaizer Chiefs Nasreddine Nabi told SABC Sport.
“I think my strikers today and last game, they scored. I agree with you, the market in Africa is very, very short, you have maybe three, four, or five good players but all the clubs in Africa take them like Esperance, Al Ahly, Zamalek. The market in Africa is not positive in this moment”, he added.
Who do you think will be the PSL top scorer?
