Despite being linked with yet another striker, Orlando Pirates will be unlikely to rush into a decision, the Siya crew has been made to believe.
As part of plans to beef up in the striking department, the Buccaneers have had Golden Arrows forward Lungelo Nguse emerging as the latest player to be linked with them.

With this season's new signing Gilberto yet to hit the ground running after being given a chance in coach Jose Riveiro's team in some matches and with Boitumelo Radiopane also appearing to be struggling with loss of form since returning from injury, while Monnapule Saleng has been in and out of the team and Zakhele Lepasa having spent a long spell on the sidelines due to injury, Bucs are understood to be looking around for options to beef up.
While reports in local media have suggested that the club could be looking at Nguse as one of the options, indications from sources are that there is no move that's likely to happen for the 25-year-old in the next transfer window.
"You must remember that Pirates are also interested in Muzomuhle Khanyi who is doing well and scoring goals in the NFD, but for him too it's something that's unlikely to happen now in January if the club is to make a formal offer," said the source.
