Muzomuhle Khanyi: A Hot Property in the PSL, With Orlando Pirates and Stellenbosch FC Battling for His Signature

Muzomuhle Khanyi, the 25-year-old striker from Hungry Lions FC, has become one of the most sought-after players in South African football after an impressive start to the 2023/24 season. His goal-scoring form continues to turn heads, and it now appears that Orlando Pirates may not be the only club vying for his signature.

Khanyi’s latest contribution came in a crucial Nedbank Cup qualification match on Wednesday, where his solitary goal led Hungry Lions to a 1-0 victory over University of Pretoria FC. This win secured their place in the Last 32 of the prestigious tournament, adding to Khanyi’s growing reputation.

In addition to his cup exploits, Khanyi has been leading the charts in the Motsepe Foundation Championship, having netted an impressive nine goals. His consistent form has not gone unnoticed, with several top-flight PSL clubs monitoring his progress. While Orlando Pirates are understood to be leading the chase, recent reports suggest that Stellenbosch FC has entered the race to sign the talented forward.

Stellenbosch, who are currently facing an injury crisis after losing striker Lehlogonolo Mojela for the remainder of the year, are reportedly keen to strengthen their attacking options. Khanyi, with his knack for finding the back of the net, has emerged as a strong candidate to fill the void left by Mojela’s injury.

A source close to the situation revealed: “Yes, Stellenbosch have become the latest club to show interest in Muzomuhle Khanyi. There is a possibility that talks could be opened between the player’s representatives and the club in the coming weeks, if things go according to plan between the parties.”

The race to secure Khanyi’s services could intensify in the coming months, with both Pirates and Stellenbosch reportedly keeping close tabs on the forward’s performances. For the striker, the next few weeks could be pivotal in shaping his future, with potential moves to top PSL clubs on the horizon.

As Khanyi’s stock continues to rise, all eyes will be on the PSL clubs looking to secure his signature. For now, the young striker is focused on maintaining his form and leading Hungry Lions to further success. However, it seems inevitable that his next chapter in South African football could involve a move to one of the country’s biggest clubs.
