TS Galaxy Tipped To Sign Zambian International
Just a few days after being released by Sekhukhune United, goalkeeper Toaster Nsabata is expected to find himself a new home in the DStv Premiership.
The Siya crew has been informed that Nsabata is potentially on the radar of TS Galaxy who lost their first choice goalkeeper Melusi Buthelezi to Orlando Pirates.

The Zambian international was also linked with a move to Pirates before they signed Buthelezi, as earlier reported by the Siya crew.
Different sources close to the team and the player told the Siya crew that Galaxy could have approached the Chipolopolo number one, and that they are also possibly interested in outgoing Pirates goalkeeper Siyabonga Mpontshane.
"From what I know is that they have approached his representatives as soon as they heard that he has been released by Sekhukhune," the Siya source said.
"They need an experienced goalkeeper after parting ways with Melusi (Buthelezi). I can't say it's a done deal yet but things are looking good. He is a free agent as we speak which makes things easier now for both parties," the source further observed.
A different source added that the former Zanaco FC goalkeeper, who is currently in camp with the Zambia national team in Johannesburg, could remain in the Gauteng city next season.
"We have talked about it and it's good that the team that is interested in him is also based in Johannesburg," the Siya source stated.
"That will help him to settle fast at the team. It's not for me to say which team it is, but yes, there is an interest at the moment.
"He is playing for the national team against Cote D'Ivoire next weekend and maybe he can go to the COSAFA Cup. Then after that, that is when we can say which team (he would join)," added the source.
The 29-year-old joined Sekhukhune United in 2021 and signed a three-year contract which was supposed to end next year in June.

Since Ivorian international Badra Sangare joined Sekhukhune United, Nsabata has seen very little action, having played only 10 games and his progress was also disrupted by injuries. He has featured in 36 games in the two seasons he has been at Sekhukhune so far. Nsabata has also been capped 34 times by the Zambian national team.
Efforts to get a comment from TS Galaxy were not successful as the club didn't answer at the time of preparing this story.
