PSL NEWS: Jayden Adams, Bongani Zuni & Thabang Matuludi

Several high-profile PSL players are likely to jump ship this summer.

Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs, who are fourteen points behind their noisy neighbours, are upping the ante on their likelihood to bring top talent to their clubs.

Transfer rumours

  • Cape Town native Jayden Adams, 23, is being pursued by Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates; the latter, who are favourites to sign the Stellies midfielder, have reportedly offered the Cape Winelands outfit Goodman Mosele, 24, plus cash. Adams will likely leave in January, but the jury is still out on where he will end up.
  • Former Ka Bo Yellow star now free agent Bongani Zuni, 32, is being monitored by Kaizer Chiefs, who are weighing up their options for midfielders, and the PSL veteran is one of them.
  • Pirates and Chiefs are reportedly battling for the services of 25-year-old defender Thabang Matuludi.

More on the Zuni and Adams situation

It remains unclear whether the former PSL champion will be heading to Soweto’s Kaizer Chiefs with Soccer Laduma confirming that, “It’s true there has been interest in Bongani Zung by Chiefs, but there be a lot that has to change at Chiefs for them to then actually sign Zungu.”

“They are first looking at loaning out some players in that position like Sibongiseni “Ox” Mthethwa or Samkelo Zwane and then if something happens in that respect, then the club will be able to sign Zungu.

“So, at the moment, it all depends on if Kaizer Chiefs can create space that can accommodate the signing of a new midfielder like Zungu. So, as much as they are interested in Zungubecause of his experience, they are looking at how that could happen if they are to go ahead with signing Zungu.”

It seems PSL leaders Orlando Pirates are favourties to sign Adams, who has been dealt two early season suspensions for an accumulation of yellow cards (4) and one red card.

“At the moment the way things stand, Orlando 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,” a 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.

Another anonymous source confirmed the rumours, saying, “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.”
