Pirates eye SuperSport star striker

Orlando Pirates are preparing a big offer for SuperSport United striker Jeremy Brockie, whom they want to join them next season.


Phakaaathi has heard from a source that said Bucs coach Kjell Jonevret has identified Brockie as one of the players who can add value to the Bucs attack.

“He wants Brockie to play just behind (Thamsanqa) Gabuza and pick up any loose balls and put them away. He doesn’t have that kind of finisher in his team at the moment and Brockie is one he has seen. He was impressed by his accurate shooting,” said the source.

The Buccaneers will have to dig deep into their pockets if they are to land Brockie but the source said Jonevret is hoping the good relationship between the two teams will help make the deal possible.

He also revealed that Bucs would be willing to offer a few of their players as part of the deal.
