Revealed: The German Clubs Interested In Pirates’ Foster

The names of the German suitors interested in an Orlando Pirates striker have been revealed to the Siya crew after the news was broken on the Soccer Laduma website last month.

It was reported in September that 17-year-old Lyle Foster impressed during his time with the U20 South African national team when he went on to help the team defeat England 2-1 in the United Kingdom.

When the player returned back home to Mzansi, he gained promotion to the Bucs’ first team and also left his mark in Europe.

In issue number 1044 of Soccer Laduma, sources have since revealed that the German clubs who were said to be impressed with the young striker, are Borussia Dortmund and Werder Bremen, with the two clubs currently monitoring the progress of Foster.

Following the player’s promotion to Soweto giants’ first team on September 07, Foster subsequently made his official debut a week later in an Absa Premiership encounter against Maritzburg United.

With Foster having signed a professional PSL contract with the Buccaneers, any interested suitor will have to table an impressive offer to Pirates, should they want to land the player’s services.

The player has made three appearances thus far in the Absa Premiership campaign, looking to continue his progression in South Africa’s top flight and it remains to be seen whether the likes of Dortmund and Bremen will look to approach management at the Soweto giants for the player’s signature in the upcoming transfer window in January next year.

Vilakazi: It’s Been A While Since Sundowns Tasted Glory

  Mamelodi Sundowns’ Sibusiso Vilakazi says that is has been a while since the Brazilians tasted glory but they will try their best to go all out and claim the Telkom Knockout Cup this season. Sundowns will lock horns with Chippa United later this month, October, in the round of 16 of the Telkom Knockout competition, with Head Coach Pitso Mosimane’s side keen to retain the trophy which they last won in 2015. Speaking after the TKO draw took place, Vilakazi revealed that after Sundowns failed to progress further than the quarter-final stages of the MTN8 competition, the Telkom Knockout will be an opportunity for the Chloorkop-based club to dust themselves off.  “It’s been a while since we tasted glory, in the form of a trophy on the domestic league. We will try by all means to get this one for the team, for ourselves and for the supporters. But with that said, we aren’t looking forward too much. We will take it one game at a time. First, there is Chip...

City To Extend Ndou’s Stay?

Sources have alerted the Siya crew that despite earlier reports that Polokwane City intended to part ways with veteran striker Rendani Ndou, the Limpopo-based club may now look to retain the services of the 30-year-old forward.  Ndou has been with Rise and Shine for the past three years and reports surfaced that he could be making an exit when his contract comes to an end. However, Siya sources have revealed that City may look to keep the experienced striker at the club.    Earlier reports suggested that Ndou along with teammates Tshepo Tema and Randy Ngobe were left out in the cold by the club as they were no longer in the future plans of coach Bernard Molekwa.
