PSL Transfer Bombshells! Pirates Dominate, Chiefs Lurk, Sundowns Chill?
The Premier Soccer League (PSL) is buzzing with activity as teams gear up for the 2025/26 season! With just weeks to go, clubs are scrambling to finalize their squads, and the transfer market is hotter than a Soweto derby.
Orlando Pirates: The Buccaneers are Raiding the Market!
Orlando Pirates have been the most active team, making several high-profile signings. The headline grabber is Sipho Mbule, a midfielder with immense talent who's joined from Mamelodi Sundowns. Can he rediscover his best form at Pirates? The arrival of Oswin Appollis further strengthens their attack. The Buccaneers are clearly aiming for continental glory with these moves.
- Key Arrivals: Sipho Mbule, Oswin Appollis, Sihle Nduli, Sinoxolo Kwayiba, Tshepang Moremi, Yanela Mbuthuma, Masindi Nemtajela, Tshepang Moremi, Sinoxolo Kwayiba, Tshepo Mashiloane, Nkosikhona Ndaba, Sihle Nduli
- Departure: Monnapule Saleng (loan to Orbit College)
Kaizer Chiefs: Quality Over Quantity?
Kaizer Chiefs have taken a more measured approach. While they haven't made as many signings as Pirates, they're focusing on quality additions. Young right-back Thabiso Monyane is impressing in pre-season and could be a breakthrough player.
Mamelodi Sundowns: Champions Staying Selective
Mamelodi Sundowns, the reigning champions, are adopting a different strategy. They've only made one major signing so far: Fawaaz Basadien, a versatile left-back from Stellenbosch FC. Sundowns seem content with their already star-studded squad.
Mid-Table Teams Making Moves
Stellenbosch FC and Sekhukhune United are also strengthening their squads with strategic signings. Stellenbosch have signed goal scorer Muzumuhle Khanyi, while Sekhukhune United secured the signature of Miguel Timm.
The PSL transfer window is far from over, and there are likely to be more surprises in store. Stay tuned for more updates!
