Pirates or Chiefs? League-leading scorer wanted by both Soweto Giants!

Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs will reportedly battle it out for Hungry Lions striker Muzomuhle Khanyi.

The talented 25-year-old finds himself in the lower leagues of the Motsepe Foundation Championship, where he leads the scoring charts with fourteen goals in seventeen games.

Khanyi’s talents are palpable; a prolific forward with poaching tendencies able to score in and outside the box – precisely what Chiefs and Pirates are looking for.
