RUMOURS
Orlando Pirates have dismissed a late enquiry from Cape Town City to sign Kwame Peprah.
The 21-year-old striker has fallen down the pecking order at Pirates since the arrival of head coach Jose Riveiro and the the signings Bienvenu Eva Nga and Evidence Makgopa.
After scoring nine goals in 38 games last season across all competitions, the Ghana striker has become concerned about his development with first-team prospects diminishing and only 84 minutes of football being offered in the 2022/23 season thus far.
This comes off the back of R9-million bid from Al Ahli not being responded to in August and suitors in Europe being put off by the asking-price set by the Buccaneers.
City, who have been in search of striker to bolster their attacking options for continental football, made contact with Pirates over the past 48 hours. However, they have been informed that the player is not available as he will still form part of their first-team plans for the season.
