The Premier Soccer League title winner left the top-flight side under unclear circumstances, and it looks like they have already secured his replacement. Under a former Amakhosi tactician, the club is pushing to finish in the top eight again, and to achieve that, they need a reliable midfield machine, which the incoming youngster promises to give.

In a bid to end Simba's struggle, the experienced South African tactician has roped in figures he trusts will help him in the mission. After making his name with Stellenbosch, it is time to test himself in a different environment, which comes with pressure given the ambition of the Kariokor giants season in and season out.

Although he arrived at Chloorkop with the expectation that he would turn into a big star, that has yet to be realised, as he has been sent to clubs on loan deals since then. His R46 million signing continues to be a gamble that is yet to pay off, as he could be out again in January, as Masandawana look somewhat like a solidly working unit, especially the attacking department.

The Glamour Boys and the Sea Robbers, just like the other Premier Soccer League teams, will have a month or so to strengthen their squads in their bid to achieve the set objectives in the ongoing 2025/26 campaign, both domestically and abroad. While Amakhosi continue rebuilding, the Buccaneers want to sustain their already impressive quality.

The Soweto giants have been desperately chasing the South African top-tier league glory for more than a decade now, having last claimed the crown in the 2011/12 campaign. The Buccaneers have finished second in the last three seasons, behind Mamelodi Sundowns, who have managed to win the last eight editions in a row.

Arsenal star Gabriel Magalhaes has explained why he took to trolling Amadou Onana after helping the Gunners to a vital victory over Premier League title rivals Aston Villa. The Brazilian defender returned with a bang in that contest, as he opened the scoring in a 4-1 win, and took the opportunity afterwards to have some “fun” when delivering a copycat “pocket” celebration.

The Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) group stages ended on a high note with heavyweights taking the centre stage in the North African country of Morocco. In the four games that were played, 14 goals were scored, with the defending champions, The Elephants, scoring the most as they finished top in their pool.

Check out the latest transfer news and rumours from Amakhosi, Buccaneers, Masandawana and the rest of the PSL teams. The 2025/26 winter transfer window came and went with all the PSL clubs reinforcing their squads. However, with the summer transfer window fast approaching, technical benches will be re-examining their squads and looking for the perfect player to plug a gap or drive them onto meeting their season ambitions.
