Kaizer Chiefs legend urges club to sign R15 Million Orlando Pirates star!

Former Kaizer Chiefs defender Gardner Seale believes the Amakhosi must make a concerted effort to sign Thembinkosi Lorch from rivals Orlando Pirates.

Thembinkosi Lorch has been linked with a move away from the Buccaneers for some time now however no team has managed to entice the Buccaneers into letting their star man leave the club.

Seale however believes that the energetic winger is exactly what the Amakhosi need and the club should use all of the necessary means to get Lorch to switch over to the gold side of Soweto.

Kaizer Chiefs legend urges the club to steal Orlando Pirates star attacker

“I know I’m dreaming, but if available, we’d have a complete Kaizer Chiefs in Alexander Cole, Bradley Grobler and Thembinkosi Lorch.” Gardner Seale told KickOff.

“With Cole he reminds of Wellington Manyathi, very reliable in defence to let bo Ngcobo attack freely with all their energy, Bradley proven to be a lethal striker who might miss three opportunities but surely he’ll get one. And the energy Thembinkosi Lorch has, rarely stoppable.

“Besides the positive results we’ve been craving for at Kaizer Chiefs, it will bring competition in the most important positions of the field, midfield and strikers.”

How much would Lorch cost the Amakhosi?

It was recently reported that Thembinkosi Lorch handed his transfer request in at Orlando Pirates however, a potential deal would have to make sense for both parties involved.

According to football valuation site Transfermarkt, Thembinkosi Lorch would cost Kaizer Chiefs, or other potential suitors approximately R15 million.

Thembinkosi Lorch has made over 120 appearances for Orlando Pirates since joining the club, scoring 28 goals while assisting a further 22.
