It is thought that Pirates will also offload some forwards to make room for some of their top attacking targets.
The club was already active in the January transfer window but didn’t sign any attackers. The likes of It is not expected that Pirates will be as idle when it comes to attacking signing in the off-season, however. The club have already been linked to a plethora of targets in that department. Some of those targets have been touted to be closer to joining than others.But for Pirates, it will also be about sending some younger attackers on loan to continue with their development.
“As much as he is a good player, the club feels he hasn’t reached that standard which will make him a regular at the club next season and that’s why he is set for another loan move. He won’t be the first player to do that. Even Thembinkosi Lorch was loaned out twice before coming back to the team and he became a regular. It helps the players to grow and gain experience. It’s good for both the player and the club and that’s why they are loaning him out again next season.
Mchunu signed a three-year deal at Pirates and could view this next loan spell as a make or break scenario.
