A well-known European club is believed to have shown interest in Orlando Pirates defender Thabiso Sesane, and now the Siya crew investigates the identity of the team.
Siya sources close to both the player and the club have indicated that the team is Montpellier FC, the French club which had once signed South Africa's Keagan Dolly.

The insiders added that Montpellier are believed to be serious about the former All Stars defender and are actively monitoring his situation. The club has increased their scouting activities recently, utilizing scouts in Africa, particularly in South Africa, and have identified Sesane as a promising talent.
"You remember the club Keagan Dolly used to play for in France? (Montpellier FC). That's the one interested in Sesane. They have been monitoring him more frequently these days. They have scouts in Africa and some of them actually work closely in South Africa and that's how they identified him. That could be a great move for him at this age as he can easily adapt to the new league and culture," the Siya source stated.
A second insider noted that Sesane's experience with Pirates and his participation in the CAF Champions League aligns with what the French club seeks.

"They are looking for a young but experienced defender and now with Pirates playing in the CAF Champions League it is actually good for Thabiso. It's good because he is gaining the valuable experience that Montpellier are looking for. It will work to his advantage. Also with call-ups to Bafana Bafana, soon he will start playing and things will go well for him," the second source observed.
