PSL transfer news: Latest rumours from Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates, Mamelodi Sundowns & the rest of the PSL teams

Orlando Pirates have signed New Zealand international midfielder Andre de Jong from Premier Soccer League side Stellenbosch, according to iDiski Times.

The 29-year-old has been a target for the Soweto giants since September, with coach Abdeslam Ouaddou seeing him as a critical player who can fit in his team seamlessly. 

In his period at Stellies, the attacking midfielder has 19 goals and 11 assists in 114 matches across all competitions. 

In a bid to sharpen their striking department even more, Kaizer Chiefs are understood to have added Ugandan striker Steven Mukwala to their transfer wishlist.

The striker was linked with Amakhosi at the beginning of the season, but he was not signed. However, The Citizen reports indicate that the Naturena giants are still interested in the Simba SC star.

The 26-year-old is an experienced forward, having played for KCCA FC, Maroons FC, and Vipers FC in Uganda, as well as Ghanaian giants Asante Kotoko.

Bafana Bafana team manager, Vincent Tseka, is set to leave the national team after the 2026 World Cup in USA, Mexico and Canada.

According to Sportswire, Tseka will leave because he would have attained the retirement age by then.  

Tseka found himself under intense criticism following a move by FIFA to deduct Bafana's World Cup qualifying points for fielding suspended Teboho Mokoena.

Orbit College have signed midfielder Ben Motshwari as a free agent, iDiski Times reports.  

The 34-year-old former Orlando Pirates star left AmaZulu a few weeks ago and has been clubless. 

Former Orlando Pirates midfielder Menzi Masuku has joined Al-Shabab Club of Bahrai.

The 32-year-old, who was part of the Bafana Bafana squad that took part in the African Nations Championship (CHAN) this year, left Golden Arrows at the end of last season.

Masuku has also played for Chippa United, Roses United, and Royal AM.

Premier Soccer League side Sekhukhune United are keen to appoint Bafana Bafana legend Andre Arendse, according to iDiski Times.

The reports indicate Babina Noko are interested in the 1996 African Cup of Nations winner, as they hope to appoint him as one of the technical bench members.

Arendse has PSL experience, having worked with SuperSport United before.

Former Stellenbosch FC defender Ismael Toure is considering a return to the Premier Soccer League after joining UAE Pro League side Baniyas at the beginning of the season.

Before he left for the Middle East, the 2023 Carling Knockout Cup winner is understood to have been on the radar of Pirates.

According to TheCitizen, a number of PSL clubs are on high alert regarding the possibility of the Ivorian returning to the country.

“You know that there were a number of clubs that wanted him before he moved abroad, and most of them will jump at the chance to sign him,” a source close to the player told the publication.

“At this point, his management team will look at proposals and decide what is best for him. He’s also interested in coming back to South Africa if nothing materialises on that side because he enjoyed his time here," the source added.

Mamelodi Sundowns are reportedly looking to offload Kegan Johannes in the transfer window, according to reports.

Johannes' move to Siwelele failed to materialise in the last transfer window, but the Tshwane giants are understood to be keen on letting him leave if the right opportunity for the right-back comes up.

He has been reduced to a fringe player at Sundowns, and to secure more playing time, a move away from Chloorkop is almost certain.

ORBIT College have made contact with former Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns defender Siyanda Xulu, who is a free agent.

KickOff reports that the PSL is keen on the 33-year-old, who is back in South Africa after a stint in the Middle East.  

Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs are set to renew their interest in Polokwane City defender Thabang Mutuludi when the Premier Soccer League transfer window opens in January.

According to Citizen, the Soweto giants are keeping tabs on the defender after the right-back returned to full fitness following an injury he suffered last season.

It is understood that Pirates and their rivals, Amakhosi, had previously shown interest in Matuludi, but in the end, none managed to sign him.
