131 games aged 23: Orlando Pirates to sign Sundowns target?

Another transfer window is upon. Orlando Pirates are reportedly planning to beat Mamelodi Sundowns to a special player.

ORLANDO PIRATES TO SIGN MAMELODI SUNDOWNS TARGET JAYDEN ADAMS FROM STELLENBOSCH FC?

It is rare to find a 23-year-old with 131 senior games. Jayden Adams is one.

As local media reported between August and September, Sundowns very nearly signed the former Stellies’ 23-year-old midfielder Adams when the Cape Winelands club rejected two bids.

According to new reports, Orlando Pirates have entered the race for the former Cape Town Spurs youth star. The Sea Robbers are said to be planning to offer cash and their 24-year-old midfielder Goodman Mosele to Stellenbosch for Adams’ signature.

WHAT THE SOURCES SAY

“At the moment the way things stand, Pirates are in a much better position to sign Jayden (Adams). They have offered Stellenbosch FC money plus Goodman Mosele for that deal to go through,” the first source told Soccer Laduma.

“Yes, it’s still early stages but that is how things start. They could actually overtake Mamelodi Sundowns in that race. They are confident they can have the deal sealed in the next transfer window period which is in January.

“It’s believed that Van Rooyen has been talking to Jayden (Adams) to him about life at Pirates. They are very close and that could also influence the move. But it will all depend on the talks between Stellenbosch FC and Orlando Pirates and if Mamelodi Sundowns could go all the way and meet the price tag that Stellies had put up towards the end of the last transfer window in September,” a second source added.

SHOULD JAYDEN ADAMS GO TO ORLANDO PIRATES OR MAMELODI SUNDOWNS?
