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...

We’re Going There For A Win

This week, we hear from Supporters Club Committee Member Masilo Machaka on the TKO last 16 results, as well as the upcoming quarter-final round.     On the Telkom Knockout Last 16 results    Firstly, I’ll start off with the encounter between Kaizer Chiefs and AmaZulu. I think the Chiefs players played their hearts out, they showed character on the day and there was unity amongst them. They played for the badge of Kaizer Chiefs and I commend them for that. What really caught me by surprise though was the game between Chippa United and Mamelodi Sundowns. Who would have thought that Sundowns would be knocked out of the tournament in the early stages? I don’t know how their supporters are feeling after the performances of their beloved team over the past few weeks and I’m sure they are asking themselves, ‘What’s next?’ They are out of the Telkom Knockout, but that’s football. Football is unpredictable – you win some and you lose some. Ha...
